slot antenna finite ground plane
Hi all,
I'm sorry to ask...
but I hope there's someone in this forum who have experience in designing slot antenna. OK, as mentioned, I'm trying to design the slot antenna which feed by microstrip line.
The question are:
- First for the feed line, from the reference I only got impression that the width of the microtsrip line, contribute to the impedance. but what about its length? how can I figure it? I mean, what is the length value I should chose/use. because there's no explanation regarding it.
- I'm simulating using IE3D, so I made slot in the infinite ground plane, and then I add the microstrip line for the feed on top of the dielectric. And the I add edge-feed on it. Is that what I'm done is correct. If not please assist me.
- At first when I'm simulating I use infinite ground plane, but of course it's inpractical, so if I want to use finite ground plane. How I can determine its dimension? Is there any "guidance" on it.
Thank you for your time and help.
Regards,
