Abstract
The characteristics of printed antennas in a two-layer anisotropic substrate are investigated. This includes input impedance of a ceneter-fed dipole, radiation efficiency, antenna gain and radiation patterns. The analysis adopts the moment method solution of the integral equation where various numerical techniques are applied to enhance the computational efficiency. The effects of substrate and superstrate anisotropy on the antenna characteristics are also described.Keywords
