## Abstract In this paper, a robust low‐cost 4×4 microstrip antenna array is designed to be used in wireless communications systems working between 3.4 and 3.6 GHz. A foam substrate, together with a set of parasitic patches in two geometrical configurations, has been used to enhance its bandwidth.

Abstract
The method of finite coupled elementary lines (FCEL) is used in the analysis of a microstrip disk antenna with a larger parasitic director. A closed form expression of the effective radius for the used structure is proposed. The obtained numerical results are compared with published measurements and good agreement is noticed. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

In this paper, the tilt of a feedline with regard to a slot is taken into account to impro¨e the ca¨ity model, and also to see the effect of this angle on the input impedance. In fact, the angle is introduced in the ¨oltage discontinuity of the slot on the feeding line. The computed results are comp
## Abstract The transmission‐line matrix (TLM) method enables simulation of interior electromagnetic field propagation problems. With the use of absorbent walls, we can simulate exterior problems such as the radiaition of a microstrip antenna. The input impedance is deduced from the standing wave o
## Abstract This paper presents a method for characterizing coplanar waveguide‐to‐microstrip (CPW‐M) transitions by using on‐wafer coplanar (CPW) microprobes. It is based on extracting the transmission matrix of the CPW‐M transition from the measurement of the __S__ parameters of two microstrip tra
