Design of Microstrip Antennas and Other Components

Overview

Since last few decades, commercial growth in the use of microwave products has created necessity for efficient design of components in a small time frame. A Computer Aided Design (CAD) approach is adopted to minimize the time required to obtain an optimized design. In order to use CAD models, the results predicted by them should be consistent with the actual results [92,93]. Due to very small wavelengths involved in microwave design, it requires high precision during the design. Hence, it is not easy to model components of RF/microwave and millimeter-wave domains.
