Application of MNM on collinear microstrip patch antenna

Abstract

In this paper, multiport network (MN) model of CoMPA excited by mode TM03 has been developed. The theoretical results have been compared with the Method of Moment based IE3D results. For the accurate matching of results of the both methods the radiating equivalent admittance network of the inner slot has been included. This is the unique of the presented MN model implementation.
