Full wave analysis for the equivalent circuit of an inclined slot on a microstrip ground plane

Abstract
The problem of a radiating slot on the ground plane of a microstripline is solved using the spectral domain approach. The equivalent circuit for the configuration is obtained, and the elements are determined using the integral transformation techniques. Effects of various parameters, such as slot dimensions and inclination with the feedline, are studied. Results are compared with measurements, and reasonable agreement is obtained. The results and the approach should find useful applications in integrated circuits and aperture-coupled patch antennas.
