The moment method is used to determine the radiation and impedance properties of microstrip patch antennas in multilayered material configurations. The resonance conditions for the layer structure which allow for high gain are studied. The gain, the impedance, the beamwidth, and the bandwidth are discussed. In 1970, Dr. Van de Capelle joined the Department of Electrical Engineering of the K.U. Leuven, where he is now a Professor teaching courses on telecommunication systems, electromagnetic waves, antennas, and radio propagation. In 1974, he established a research group on antennas, which has done much work on microstrip antennas. His current research activities include radio communication systems with projects on antennas, radio propagation, and microwave and millimeter wave circuits.-I -1 --
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
