patchMicrostripCircular
Create probe-fed circular microstrip patch antenna
Description
Use the patchMicrostripCircular
object to create a
probe-fed circular microstrip patch antenna. By default, the patch is centered at the
origin with feed point along the radius and the groundplane on the
xy- plane at z = 0.
Circular microstrip antennas are used as low-profile antennas in airborne and spacecraft applications. These antennas also find use in portable wireless applications because they are lightweight, low cost, and easily manufacturable.
Creation
Description
circularpatch = patchMicrostripCircular
creates a
probe-fed circular microstrip patch antenna.
circularpatch = patchMicrostripCircular(Name,Value)
sets properties using one or more name-value pairs. For example,
circularpatch = patchMicrostripCircular('Radius',0.2)
creates a circular patch of radius 0.2 m. Enclose each property name in
quotes.
