Abstract

This paper presents a general theory for the analysis of an aperture-coupled cavity-fed microstrip patch antenna to develop a simple but accurate equivalent circuit model. The developed equivalent circuit consists of ideal transformers, admittance elements, and transmission lines. These circuit element values are computed by applying the complex power concept, the Fourier transform and series representation, and the spectral-domain immittance approach. The input impedance of the antenna is calculated and compared with the published data. Good agreements validate the simplicity and accuracy of the developed equivalent circuit model.

본 논문은 개구면 결합 공진기 급전 마이크로스트립 패치 안테나에 대하여 간결하면서도 정확한 등가회로 모델을 추출하기 위한 일반적인 전자기 이론을 제안하였다. 그리고 등가회로는 이상적인 트랜스, 어드미턴스, 그리고 전송선으로 구성된다. 관련소자들의 값은 복소전력 개념, Fourier 변환, Fourier 급수, 그리고 spectral-domain immittance-approach를 적용하여 계산된다. 본 논문에서는 이 방법을 이용하여 안테나의 입력 임피던스를 구하고, 기존 논문에서 발표된 계산값, 그리고 측정값들과 비교하였다. 기존의 연구 결과와의 정확한 일치는 본 논문이 제안한 등가회로 모델의 간결성과 정확성을 입증해 준다.
