Closed‐form expressions for the input impedance of half‐wavelength rectangular microstrip antennas fed by a coaxial line at any point on any one of the nonradiating edges and open‐circuited at the ends are derived. Good agreement between computed and measured data is obtained. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Microwave Opt Technol Lett 33: 28–31, 2002; DOI 10.1002/mop.10221
