Aperture Coupled Patch Antenna
Calculate the input reflection coefficient of an aperture coupled patch antenna. Use continuous frequency sampling to minimise runtime. Compare results for a finite and infinite dielectric.
Model the dielectric layers with two methods:
- Model the patch antenna using a finite substrate where the aperture is modelled as an explicit (unmeshed) hole. The patch antenna is solved with the MoM (SEP).
- Model the patch antenna using an infinite multilayer substrate where aperture triangles allow the energy to couple through an infinite PEC ground plane.
