Abstract

Dielectric cover effect of rectangular microstrip patch antenna on uniaxial substrates with airgap are studied. First, we derive Dyadic Green function for selected anisotropic material by constitutive relation and then formulate integral equations of electric fields using Fourier transform in space region. Using Galerkin's moment method, we discretize the electric field integral equations into the matrix form and select sinusoidal functions as basis functions. We verify the validity of numerical results and compare the results with existing ones in showing a good agreement between them. When the dielectric cover thickness is varied, the resonant frequencies and input impedances in the variation of air gap, patch length and thickness and permittivity of superstrate are presented and analyzed.

공기 캡을 갖는 일축성 이방성 매질 위의 마이크로스트립 안테나에 대해 유전체 덮개층이 미치는 영향에 관하여 연구하였다. 일축성 이방성 매질의 특성을 나타내는 텐서의 구성관계식으로부터 파수영역에서의 다이에딕 그린 함수를 유도하였으며 이 결과를 푸리에 변환을 사용하여 공간에서의 전계 적분 방정식으로 수식화하였다. 갈리킨 모멘트법을 사용하여 적분 방정식을 이산화하였으며 기저함수로는 정현적 함수를 선택하였다. 수치해석 결과의 타당성을 검증하기 위해 기존의 결과와 비교, 일치된 결과를 얻었으며 공기갭의 두께, 패치 길이 그리고 덮개층의 유전율과 두께 변화에 따라 유전체 덮개층이 공진 주파수, 대역폭과 입력 임피던스에 어떤 영향을 미치는지 제시되고 분석되었다.
