A generalized method is proposed to determine the effective dielectric constant and edge extension for predicting the resonant frequency of various microstrip antennas (MSAs) by equating their area with that of the equivalent rectangular microstrip antenna (RMSA). The theoretical frequency obtained using the present method is in very good agreement with the reported/measured frequencies. ©1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
