ICON: [[File:us_patch_icon.png]]
 
MENU: '''Tools &rarr; Antenna Wizards &rarr; Microstrip-Fed Patch Antenna'''
 
MODULE(S): [[EM.Tempo]], [[EM.Picasso]]
 
FUNCTION: Creates the parameterized geometry of a microstrip-fed rectangular patch antenna in the project workspace
 
NOTES, SPECIAL CASES OR EXCEPTIONS: The wizard asks you whether you want a microstrip-fed patch antenna with a recessed feed or one with a direct microstrip line junction. In [[EM.Tempo]], the feed line is excited by a microstrip port. In [[EM.Picasso]], the feed line has a scattering wave port. The total dimensions of the square patch are set equal to 0.5 times the effective dielectric wavelength, which can be changed.

FUNCTION: Creates the parameterized geometry of a slot-coupled rectangular patch antenna in the project workspace
 
NOTES, SPECIAL CASES OR EXCEPTIONS: This wizard creates a substrate with two dielectric layers, which are separated by a PEC ground plane hosting a coupling slot. The upper layer hosts a rectangular patch antenna. The bottom layer hosts a microstrip feed line with an open stub, which is extended past the slot location. The total dimensions of the square patch are set equal to 0.47 times the effective dielectric wavelength, which can be changed. The length of the open stub beyond the slot location is set equal to a quarter guide wavelength, which can be changed, too.

MENU: '''Tools &rarr; Antenna Wizards &rarr; Microstrip-Fed Patch Antenna'''
 
MODULE(S): [[EM.Tempo]], [[EM.Picasso]]
 
FUNCTION: Creates the parameterized geometry of a microstrip-fed rectangular patch antenna in the project workspace
 
NOTES, SPECIAL CASES OR EXCEPTIONS: The wizard asks you whether you want a microstrip-fed patch antenna with a recessed feed or one with a direct microstrip line junction. In [[EM.Tempo]], the feed line is excited by a microstrip port. In [[EM.Picasso]], the feed line has a scattering wave port. The total dimensions of the square patch are set equal to 0.5 times the effective dielectric wavelength, which can be changed.

MENU: '''Tools &rarr; Antenna Wizards &rarr; Slot-Coupled Patch Antenna'''
 
MODULE(S): [[EM.Tempo]], [[EM.Picasso]]
 
FUNCTION: Creates the parameterized geometry of a slot-coupled rectangular patch antenna in the project workspace
 
NOTES, SPECIAL CASES OR EXCEPTIONS: This wizard creates a substrate with two dielectric layers, which are separated by a PEC ground plane hosting a coupling slot. The upper layer hosts a rectangular patch antenna. The bottom layer hosts a microstrip feed line with an open stub, which is extended past the slot location. The total dimensions of the square patch are set equal to 0.47 times the effective dielectric wavelength, which can be changed. The length of the open stub beyond the slot location is set equal to a quarter guide wavelength, which can be changed, too.
