Wraparound patch resonators on a composite ground plane
The effects of a laminated ground plane on the resonant frequencies of wraparound patch resonators are studied. An integral equation is formulated in terms of the surface current on the patch. The laminated ground is modelled by a transition matrix in the spectral domain. Factors analysed include substrate thickness, substrate dielectric constant and laminate conductivity. Due to ohmic losses, more power loss is incurred for certain laminate conductivities.
