Low profile, printed circuit antennas
Abstract
Printed circuit antennas consisting of a planar radiating structure over a ground plane separated by an electrically thin layer of dielectric have found application in a wide variety of systems. A particular configuration, the circular disc radiator, was chosen for a careful theoretical and experimental investigation. A zeroth order theory for the radiation properties of the antenna was derived, and the radiation pattern, resonant frequency and input impedance were measured experimentally.
