Improvements in the performance of microstrip antennas on finite ground planes through ground plane edge serrations

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

This paper explores how edge serrations on a truncated ground plane affect the performance of a microstrip antenna. The investigation includes both simulations and measurements of a range of serration dimensions. Improvements in performance through ground plane edge serration include lower cross-polarization level, increased beam width, and slight impedance tuning compared to a microstrip antenna on a simple finite ground plane.
