Brief History
Invented by Bob Munson in 1972 (but earlier work by Dechamps goes back
to1953).
By the early 1980s basic microstrip antenna elements and arrays were fairly well
established in terms of design and modeling.
The first aperture coupled microstrip antenna was fabricated and tested by a
graduate student, allen buck, on august 1, 1984, in the university of massachusetts
antenna lab.
Today Patch antennas play a very significant role in the world of wireless
communication systems.
The Microstrip Patch Antenna is a single-layer design which consists generally of four parts (patch,
ground plane, substrate, and the feeding part)
A Micro-strip patch antenna consists of a radiating patch on one side of a dielectric substrate which
has a ground plane on the other side.
Fig-1 shows Structure of MSPA:It has Patch (Rectangular) of Length (L) & Width (W), Thickness (t)
& height (h) of Substrate and the Ground plane.

Where m, n are the operating modes of the Microstrip patch antenna, along
with L length W- width.
For the effective radiation the design of the structure is the utmost important
aspect and for this the width is calculated as:

Input impedance
Return Loss :It can be said that when the load is mismatched the whole
power is not delivered to the load there is a return of the power and that is
called loss, and this loss that is returned is called the Return loss.
Radiation Pattern: A radiation pattern defines the variation of the power radiated by an antenna
as a function of the direction away from the antenna. This power variation as a function of the
arrival angle is observed in the far field.
Feed Techniques:
These methods can be classified into two categories- contacting and non-contacting.
In the contacting method, the RF power is fed directly to the radiating patch using a
connecting element such as a microstrip line.

Advantages
Disadvantages
Feed Technique:
Proximity Coupled Can have large effective thickness for patch substrate and
much thinner feed substrate
Monolithic,Easy to fabricate,Easy to match by controlling
Spurious radiation from feed line, especially
for thick substrate when line width is significant
Microstrip Line
Insert position,Easy to match,Low spurious radiation
Coaxial Feed
Aperture Coupled
Easy to match
Low spurious radiation
Methods of Analysis
The preferred models for the analysis of Microstrip patch antennas are the
transmission line model, cavity model, and full wave model (which include
primarily integral equations/Moment Method).
The transmission line model is the simplest of all and it gives good physical
insight but it is less accurate.In this method we assume that the patch is a
transmission line or a part of a transmission line.
The cavity model is more accurate and gives good physical insight but is complex
in nature. in this method we assume that the patch is a dielectric loaded cavity
The full wave models are extremely accurate, versatile and can treat single
elements, finite and infinite arrays, stacked elements, arbitrary shaped elements
and coupling. These give less insight as compared to the two models mentioned
above and are far more complex in nature.
ADVANTAGES
Microstrip patch antennas are increasing in popularity for use in wireless applications due
to their low-profile structure. Therefore they are extremely compatible for embedded
antennas in handheld wireless devices such as cellular phones, pagers etc...
The telemetry and communication antennas on missiles need to be thin and conformal and
are often in the form of Microstrip patch antennas.
Another area where they have been used successfully is in Satellite communication.
DISADVANTAGES
Microstrip patch antennas suffer from more drawbacks as compared
to conventional antennas. Some of their major disadvantages are
given below:
Narrow bandwidth.
Low efficiency.
Low Gain.
Extraneous radiation from feeds and junctions.
Poor end fire radiator except tapered slot antennas.
Low power handling capacity.
Surface wave excitation.
Microstrip patch antennas have a very high antenna quality factor (Q).
Application
Mobile and satellite communication application: Mobile communication requires small, lowcost, low profile antennas. Microstrip patch antenna meets all requirements
Global Positioning System applications:microstrip patch antennas with substrate having high
permittivity sintered material are used for GPS.
Radar Application:. Radar demands a low profile, light weight antenna subsystem, the microstrip
antennas are an ideal choice.
Rectenna Application: Rectenna is a rectifying antenna, a special type of antenna that is used to
directly convert microwave energy into DC power.
Medicinal applications of patch: It is found that in the treatment of malignant tumors the
microwave energy is said to be the most effective way of inducing hyperthermia.

Abstract:
Parameters Values:
For a rectangular patch, the length L of the patch is usually 0.3333o <
L < 0.5 o, where o is the free-space wavelength.
The patch is selected to be very thin such that t << o (where t is the
patch thickness).
The dielectric constant of the substrate (r) is typically in the range 2.2
r 12.
