The effective design and analysis of microstrip antennas presupposes the quantitative knowledge of the effects of the physical and mechanical properties of the patch, the ground plane, and the substrate material on electromagnetic properties of the antenna. The behavior of antenna electromagnetic properties for varying mechanical and physical properties of the patch, the ground plane, and the substrate material is presented. A set of graphs for a relevant set of parameters is presented which enables the designer to clearly see the tradeoffs involved in choosing specific parameters for the antenna. Several parameters that are deterrents to the proper functioning of the antennas are also identified. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Microwave Opt Technol Lett 19: 111–121, 1998.
