摘要
Structures such as square or circular microstrip patch antennas may support two orthogonal resonant modes. The paper presents a new method of utilising the dual-mode property to increase the bandwidth of microstrip antennas. The input impedance of such a dual-mode antenna may be represented as a second-order [adder network of coupled resonators, where each resonator is coupled to a load resistor. A theoretical method for evaluating the coupling values in the network is presented, enabling the bandwidth of a dual-mode antenna to be maximised. A theoretical bandwidth improvement of up to 3:1 is achieved when compared to a single-mode antenna. This is confirmed with an experimental dual-mode circular microstrip patch antenna.
