Abstract
In this paper, Greens function and surface current density for planar structure has been calculated. The approach makes use of the
popular and rigorously used spectral domain full wave analysis method in conjunction with method of moment as numerical analysis
tool. In present approach, boundary conditions are applied at patch metallization, which leads to integral equation with the
involvement of greens function in spectral domain, which includes the effect of dielectric, conductor loss, surface wave modes and
space wave radiation. By applying Galerkins moment method integral equation are transformed to linear set of equations. Entire
domain basis function is used to improve the efficiency of the solution.
Keywords: Spectral domain full wave analysis, Green function, Galerkins moment method, Entire
domain basis

3. DESIGN PARAMETERS
Here we have designed the rectangular microstrip patch
antenna for the S-band frequency ranges (3GHz in this case).
Microstrip patch antenna working on this frequency range
finds application in weather radar, surface ship radar, and
some communications satellites. The design flow for the
single patch dimensions, using the cavity model approach is as
follows:
Fr, frequency of operation = 3 GHz
Err, relative permittivity of substrate material= 2.32
h, height of substrate = 0.159 cm
Calculated length and width of patch are:
L, length of patch = 3.2 cm
W, width of patch = 3.8 cm

5. CONCLUSIONS
In this paper we have used the popular and rigorously used
spectral domain full wave analysis method in conjunction with
method of moment as numerical analysis tool. The electric
field due to rectangular patch is obtained by solving integral
equation which involves Greens function in spectral domain.
The integral equations thus formed are converted into a system
of linear equations by the use of method of moment. The
Galerkins procedure with entire domain basis function is used
to solve the coupled integral equation. Greens function,
surface current density and entire domain basis function for
planar structure has been plotted. Simulations are done using
MATLAB 2007b.
