The numerically computed results are compared with simulated results. The two gap-coupled circular microstrip patch antenna loaded with shorting post miniaturize the cross-sectional dimension of the radiating patch at the microwave frequency, which is useful for short range communications or contactless identification systems. The simulation has been performed using method-of-moments based commercially available simulator IE3D.展开更多

Microstrip patch antennas＇ resonant frequencies with two shorting pins are represented in this study by not only considering the theoretical results but also considering the both simulated and experimental results. For each geometry, positions of shorting pins are varied and effects of these variations are analyzed. The presented patch antennas in literature which have the same shape with shorting pin and without shorting pin are compared and results are presented. The methods in literature presented for estimating the resonant frequency depends on analytical methods which are originated from curve fitting. The results of this study will be the basement of the latter studies that predict the resonant frequencies of mentioned antennas before producing the antenna so that the engineers handle the problem by saving the time and estimating the frequency before production.展开更多
