Abstract
Slot-loaded trapezoidal patch antennas are analyzed in order to achieve a multifrequency operation. A moment method formulation based on new analytical entire domain basis functions is developed and compared to the one involving the RWG triangular discretization. The numerical results obtained through the new efficient implemented code are compared to the measurements showing a good agreement. A parametric analysis of such antennas is also presented leading to useful design graphs showing the main antenna properties (resonance frequencies, cross-polarization levels, matching, etc.) as a function of the patch geometrical dimensions, symmetric collocation of the slots on the patch, and slot dimensions.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
