## Abstract A conducting‐polymer patch antenna is fabricated using a screen‐printing technique. Polyaniline (Pani) film of conductivity 6000 S/m, permittivity 6000, and thickness 100 μm is used as a radiating patch to realize a microstrip‐fed proximity‐coupled Pani‐patch antenna operating at around

Abstract
A computer‐aided design algorithm is developed to facilitate the design of E‐plane series‐fed patch arrays. A rigorous moment method is used to compute the impedance of and the currents on each patch element in the array. Mutual coupling between adjacent patch elements is included in the computation. Experimental validation of the algorithm is reported. The effects of fabrication tolerance, material parameter variations, and mutual coupling on the array performance are highlighted.

An impro¨ed transmission line model for a single microstrip-fed slot element is extended to the case of a linear array with negligible interelement mutual coupling. S-parameter results obtained for two-, four-, and eight-element slot arrays fa¨orably compare with those from Pozar's reciprocity metho
