Calcul feed point position on patch antenna ?
Calcul feed point position on patch antenna ?
(OP)
Hi all,
I would like to find some papers explaining how simply determine (calculate)the feed point on a rectangular patch to get natching with a 50 Ohm coaxial.
I don't have any analyser to perform measurement...
I just have a formula giving the variation of input impedance as a function of feed point position:
R(x)=R0 cos²(Pi.x/L) Where R0 is the résistance at the edge of the patch and x the distance from the edge. L is the dimension of the patch.
How can I determine an approximative value for R0, x ?
I took this formula from the article "Design of rectangular Patch antennas for the 2.4 Ghz band" - Dr. Max Ammann from
Applied Microwave & Wireless.

RE: Calcul feed point position on patch antenna ?
x=L/2ãƒÃre(L) where
ƒÃre(L)= (ƒÃr+1)/2 + (ƒÃr-1)/2F(L/h) and
F(L/h)= ã(1+12h/L)
Maybee it can be usefull for someone else...
