Radiation analysis of microstrip active (amplifier) and passive (antenna) structures

Abstract

Analysis of radiation from a microstrip amplifier and a newly proposed microstrip antenna is presented. Microstrip amplifier is analyzed replacing the MMIC structure by an equivalent S2P model and remaining portion being constructed with the original dimensions. A printed monopole antenna using multifractal technique is proposed. This antenna has multiband characteristics covering various wireless applications including WLAN 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz applications
