The numerically computed results are compared with simulated results. The two gap-coupled circular microstrip patch antenna loaded with shorting post miniaturize the cross-sectional dimension of the radiating patch at the microwave frequency, which is useful for short range communications or contactless identification systems. The simulation has been performed using method-of-moments based commercially available simulator IE3D.展开更多

The microstrip antenna is discretized into small triangular patches on conducting surface and tetrahedral volume cells in dielectric region. The Method of Moments (MoM) is applied to solve the integral equation. An equation contains the restriction relation between the volume and surface current coefficient is derived from the current continuity equation at those parts where the conducting surface is in contact with the dielectric material. A simple equivalent strip model is introduced in the treatment of the feeding probe in VSCCM. The VSCCM can reduce the unknowns required to be solved in MoM, as well as the condition number of the matrix equation. Numerical results are given to validate the accuracy and efficiency of this method.展开更多
