Abstract
The problem of a rectangular microstrip antenna printed on a uniaxially anisotropic substrate is treated. The effect of anisotropy on the resonant frequency and surface wave excitation of the antenna is considered, and the radar cross section (RCS) of the antenna is calculated. The RCS calculation includes the effect of the load impedance (antenna mode scattering). Results for the resonant frequency of a patch on a uniaxial substrate are compared with measurements, and the RCS of a patch on an isotropic substrate is compared with measurements. The derivation of the uniaxial Green's function in spectral form, the associated moment method analysis for the input impedance and scattering of the microstrip patch, and the expressions for the far-zone fields of a source on a uniaxial substrate are presented.Keywords
