The Design of a Microstrip Antenna with Radiation Pattern Controlled

Article Preview

Abstract:

Microstrip Antennas have many applications in various communication systems. A new configuration of microstrip antenna is proposed in this paper. The microstrip antenna has two radiation ports. Through changing the radiation intensity of the two ports, the proposed structure breaks the balance of the radiation of the microstrip antenna therefore the radiation pattern would be changed corresponsively. Theory analysis is carried out based on microstrip antenna theory. Both analysis and simulation show that the new configuration can realize the radiation pattern controlled and the theory analysis agreed very well with simulation.
