Abstract
In this paper, E-plane gap-coupled rectangular microstrip antennas with parasitic elements are analyzed. The mutual coupling between the radiating edges is represented as the voltage-dependent current source. The gap coupling between the patch and parasitic element is characterized with the REC(Radiating Edges-Coupling) model, and the conventional transmission line model is used to obtain the equivalent circuit of the antenna. The return loss of the rectangular microstrip antennas with short-and open-circuit parasitic elements are calculated and compared with the measured values. The theoretical values including the mutual coupling are more in agreement with the measured values than the calculated values without the mutual coupling.
