Description:This paper presents an accurate full analytical model to assess the impedance response of a proximity-coupled microstrip patch antenna (PC-MSPA). An improved formulation of the patch resonant frequency is used to calculate the quality factor, resonant resistance, and the feeding circuit parameters of the antenna. The proposed model also assesses the PC-MSPA impedance response while considering the fabrication constraints. For the validation of the proposed model, at first, the antennas are simulated for S-, C- and X-bands. Then, two prototypes are fabricated and measured. The proposed model predicts the antenna resonant frequency and impedance bandwidth with less than 1% error.
