Microstrip antenna

A microstrip antenna operates by resonating at a frequency. Microstrip antennas are an excellent improvement over large and bulky antennas, such as co-planar spiral antennas. Microstrip antennas are lightweight and low cost, and have a low profile because they are planar. The planar structure of a microstrip antenna permits the microstrip antenna to be conformed to a variety of surfaces having different shapes. Microstrip antennas are being used for radar, mobile and satellite communication systems. In addition, microstrip antenna arrays are versatile and can be used in applications requiring either directional or omni-directional coverage. Microstrip antennas are particularly suitable for use as active antennas. Active antenna is an antenna having all of the necessary components, such as an antenna element, a feeding circuits, active devices or active circuits, integrally provided on a monolithic substrate. A microstrip antenna is generally comprised of a pair of thin parallel plates, one acting as a driven element and the other, as a continuous ground plane. These plates are separated by a dielectric material.
