“…A number of theoretical methods have been reported to analyze the resonance, radiation, and input impedance characteristics of such structures using the variational technique , the multiport network approach , the spectral domain analysis, and other full‐wave analysis methods . According to a special variant of the discrete‐mode‐matching method, Dreher and Ioffe analyzed patch antennas and feed networks embedded in multilayer structures of arbitrary shape. Guney as well as Banerjee analyzed resonant frequencies and design parameters of various patch antennas of regular geometries utilizing neural networks.…”

This article presents a set of CAD oriented closed form expressions to predict accurately the effect of radome (superstrate) on resonant frequency, input impedance, bandwidth, and gain of rectangular patch antenna. Merits of this model include low computation cost and mathematical simplicity. The numerical values obtained with the present method are compared with experimental and different theoretical values. The accuracy of this model is verified with electromagnetic software (HFSS) computation and with the experimental values. The present model shows very close agreements with the experimental and software computation values compared to the other models for wide range of thickness and permittivity of substrates and superstrates. This model is directly applicable for the integration of patch antennas beneath plastic covers or protective superstrates in portable wireless equipment and aircraft radome. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

“…The discrete mode matching method (DMM) allows fast and accurate analysis of microstrip structures in planar [1], quasiplanar [2] and cylindrical [3] stratified media. In the DMM, the wave equation is not discretized and the eigenvalues only depend on the type of the lateral boundary conditions.…”

This paper presents the formulation to apply the discrete mode matching (DMM) method to analyze microstrip multilayer structures, such as transmission lines and antennas conformed to cylinders. The main advantage of the method is the need of discretization only along the azimuthal and the axial directions by sampling the fields and current densities in the interfaces between dielectric layers. The solution in the radial direction is obtained analytically with the dyadic Green's function, which is calculated using the full-wave equivalent circuit (FWEC) in the spectral domain. The method is used to analyze two structures: a multilayer conformal transmission line and a conformal antenna. Validation with the commercial software HFSS has been done and good agreement between the results has been observed.
