About Event

Since the invention of the Microstrip Antenna four decades ago, the demand for its application has been increasing rapidly, especially within the last two decades. However, these applications have been in demand mostly by the Department of Defense. Because of their extremely thin profile (0.01 to 0.05 wavelength), printed Microstrip Antennas have found heavy applications in military aircraft, missiles, rockets, and satellites. The Microstrip Antenna, because of its small size, lightweight, low profile, and low manufacturing cost, is finding increasing applications in the commercial sector of the industry. This workshop aims at discussing briefly some of the antenna’s technical design features and presents several important examples of the antenna’s commercial applications, such as mobile satellite communications, direct broadcast satellite services, global positioning system, medical hyperthermia usage, etc.
