“…Indeed, the traditional methods used for the design of microstrip patch antennas are not suitable for comb-shaped antennas. In this framework, comb antennas have been analyzed by developing models based on variational methods [22], modal analysis [23], or simple, but less accurate transmission line models (TLM) [24]- [26] or computationally costly, high-fidelity full-wave analysis (FW) [8], [27]- [33]. All these design strategies are often complemented by numerical optimization, heuristic or machine learning-based methods [34]- [38].…”

This work deals with the proposal of a novel type of microstrip antenna, called MCPA the modified comb patch antenna. The proposed antennas is composed of n parallel conductors, fed by a common microstrip. A dedicated mathematical framework, based on the multiconductors transmission line formalism, is proposed for antenna analysis and design. The analytical model is numerically validated with full-wave simulations, resulting in a 5% error in the predicted resonant patch length. A numerical study of antenna matching, size, radiation performance is carried out. The matching increases as the number of conductors increases, whilst gain of comb antennas made of n conductors are about half dB higher than the equivalent full patch counterpart. Then, an eighty conductors was realized and measured to assess the frequency response of the antenna, as well as its radiation performances. An error of 1% between the predicted and measured value resonance frequency was observed. A difference of about 0.67 dB was found for the measured maximum antenna gain, with respect to the simulated one. The proposed antenna design is appealing for printed electronics and wearable, on-textile applications.
