Broadband Microstrip Antenna Overview

Abstract

Microstrip antennas are widely used in people's daily life. Microstrip antenna has the advantages of low cost, low profile, small space occupation, and high conformal capability. So the design of microstrip antennas can be encountered in daily life. Microstrip antennas include the military, aerospace, medical, and so on. Microstrip antenna has a wide research space. The three microstrip antennas, U-shaped open slit laminated microstrip antenna, dual frequency circularly polarized laminated microstrip antenna, and non-radiating edge-fed broadband double-layer microstrip patch antenna are mainly introduced to understand the research progress and expectation of today's microstrip antennas. This paper firstly introduces the basic theoretical concept of microstrip antenna, then introduces the cavity mode theory, and then mainly lists and introduces three kinds of designed microstrip antenna structures. Finally, these three types of microstrip patch antennas are analyzed. And the advantages, disadvantages, and development fields of the corresponding types of microstrip patch antennas are introduced. The application determines the structure of the method used, and each design has its strengths. Microstrip antennas always have room for research, and continuous research will be applied to more fields.
