Review of patch analysis and results, construction of patch pattern from constant magnetic current EF and broadside AF.
Vector pattern, main cuts.
Radiation resistance, control via patch width and inset. Effect of the inset, beam squinting.
Patch design procedure: "Optimum W" plus inset design, or W for desired Zin. Effect of effective length on design procedure.
Exercise is proposed as homework.
PRACTICAL ASPECTS OF ANTENNA IMPLEMENTATION
SMA connectors, characteristics and types.
Circular polarization for patches, deformation. Hint of the turnstyle dipole for circular polarization.
Dipole above ground plane, image and constructive interference, end-fire array.
Wideband high patch on air
Discone antenna
Beam forming networks, practical considerations, types.
Corporate feed network, quick mention.
Series fed network was not really presented.
