Abstract

An accurate and efficient method is presented for analyzing the charac-teristics of open rectangular microstrip antenna. The characteristic equation is carried out rigorously using the full-wave analysis rather than the quasistatic approximation. The characteristic equation is derived using Galerkin's method applied in the Fourier transform domain using potential approach.
Some numerical Tesults of this method are compared with the results of other method.
