The analysis of patch antennas loaded by general inhomogeneous and lossy chiral media is presented in this paper, implementing a new method‐of‐lines (MoL) procedure, which considers inhomogeneous planar structures loaded by any bi‐isotropic material. Presented results refer to the effect of a chiral cover on the resonance frequency of a simple squared‐patch structure. Design charts are presented to simply analyze the separate effects of cover thickness and chirality. © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Microwave Opt Technol Lett 32: 143–145, 2002.
