The microstrip antenna (MSA) consists of a dielectric substrate in between a metallic conducting patch and a ground plane. The most common forms of the MSA are the rectangular and circular patch MSAs. There are several microstrip antenna analysis methods. The most popular models are transmission-line model, cavity model, method of moments, FDTD method, and finite element method. The transmission-line model is the simplest of these methods, and it provides good physical insight but is less accurate. The cavity model is more accurate compared to the transmission-line model, but cavity model is more complex. Though cavity model gives good physical insight, it is rather difficult to model coupling. The full-wave models (which include primarily integral equations/moment method) are very accurate, very versatile, but they are the most complex models and usually give less physical insight. This chapter explores the microstrip antenna.
