Asymmetrically loaded annular ring antenna

A numerical model for resonant frequency using asymmetric loading is presented using cavity model. In asymmetric loaded antenna, the posts are not equispaced on annular ring antenna and resonant frequency is independent of the angular location of posts. The posts are located away from the centre of patch. The diameter of post is thin as compared to the diameter of annular ring antenna. The first few dominant modes calculated for asymmetric loading are compared to symmetric loading where the posts are to be located at specific angular locations. The theoretical model is compared to the simulated results of IE3D based on Method of Moments. The numerical model developed can also be verified further by the full wave analysis.
