A microstrip antenna array for a satellite television receiver Diagram of the feed structure of a microstrip antenna array. In telecommunication, a microstrip antenna (also known as a printed antenna) usually is an antenna fabricated using photolithographic techniques on a printed circuit board (PCB). [1] It is a kind of internal antenna.
An antenna like effect is achieved by periodic swing of electrons from its capacitive element to the ground plane which behaves like an inductor. The authors further argued that the operation of a dielectric antenna resembles the antenna conceived by Marconi, the only difference is that inductive element is replaced by the dielectric material.

In an example of a parasitic element that is not rod-shaped, a parasitic microstrip patch antenna is sometimes mounted above another driven patch antenna. This antenna combination resonates at a slightly lower frequency than the original element. However, the main effect is to greatly increase the impedance bandwidth of the antenna.
Cross-section of microstrip geometry. Conductor (A) is separated from ground plane (D) by dielectric substrate (C). Upper dielectric (B) is typically air. Microstrip is a type of electrical transmission line which can be fabricated with any technology where a conductor is separated from a ground plane by a dielectric layer known
A patch antenna is a type of antenna with a low profile, usually consisting of a printed circuit board. It consists of a planar rectangular or circular sheet or "patch" of metal, mounted over a larger sheet of metal called a ground plane. It is the original type of microstrip antenna described by Howell in 1972. [1]
in which k B is the Boltzmann constant, λ is the free-space wavelength, and σ is the RCS of the target. Range values are tabulated in Table 1 for following targets: a sphere with a radius, a, of 10 cm (σ = π a 2 ), a dihedral corner reflector with facet size, a, of 10 cm (σ = 12 a 4 /λ 2 ), the rear of a car (σ = 20 m 2 ) and for a non ...
the upper half of a vertical full-wavelength loop antenna mounted on the ground (not to be confused with the visually similar but electrically different half-square antenna described below, under array antennas, [r] nor to be confused with the halo antenna, described next). The full loop is cut at two opposite points along its perimeter, and ...
Since a dielectric resonator can be thought of as a truncated dielectric rod waveguide, this research was essential for scientific understanding of electromagnetic phenomena in dielectric resonators. In 1939 Robert D. Richtmyer published a study [ 4 ] in which he showed that dielectric structures can act just as metallic cavity resonators.
