Perturbation Formulas for Microstrip Patch Arrays and Elements

Marat Davidovitz, Senior Member, IEEE

Page 536.

Abstract:

One-term perturbation formulas are derived to characterize periodic microstrip arrays with nonuniform planar distributions of dielectric and magnetic materials. Analogous results are also obtained for single-patch elements. The formulas are generally applicable to other types of antennas.
