FIGURE 1.5 Some reported slotted patches suitable for the design of
compact microstrip antennas.
CP design using a tuning stub (Figure 1.15), the required length of the
tuning stub increases as the CP center operating frequency is lowered.
Applications of MSA
Some of the applications of MSAs are listed in Table 1.2.
Definition of BW
The VSWR or impedance BW of the MSA is defined as the frequency range
over which it is matched with that of the feed line within specified limits.
The BW of the MSA is inversely proportional to its quality factor Q and
is given by :
where W and L are the width and length of the RMSA. With an increase
in W, BW increases. However, W should be taken less than to avoid
excitation of higher order modes.
Another simplified relation for quick calculation of BW (in megahertz)
for VSWR = 2 of the MSA operating at frequency f in gigahertz, with h
expressed in centimeters, is given by :
And Gain :

For RMSA, generally W >> h, so for quick analysis or design, the extension
in length may be approximately calculated by the following simple formula
