✦ Synopsis

The multiport network model MNM has been used to ( ) analyze rectangular microstrip antennas RMSAs excited at their secondand third-order modes. A diagonal-fed nearly square MSA excited at its second-order mode yields a conical pattern in both the s 0 and 90Њ planes. An RMSA excited at its third-order mode yields a broadside radiation pattern. The theoretical results obtained from the MNM ha¨e been compared with those obtained from commercially a¨ailable ( ) method-of-moments MOM -based software and measured results.
