<p>The feedline connection (208, 250) to a microstrip antenna patch (100) is desinged to integrally include a predetermined capacitance (260, 270) for broadbanded operation. RLC parameters of a parallel circuit model for a specific radiator for a given feedpoint location are measured or otherwise determined. A series LC feed network (250, 260, 270) is then employed and predetermined series LC parameters are chosen so as to optimize the desired bandwidth for the resulting two-stage band pass filter network. The resulting broadbanded microstrip antenna system network may provide an operating bandwidth on the order of 30% (with less than 2:1 VSWR).</p> |
