%0 Journal Article %T The Performance of a Cylindrical Microstrip Printed Antenna for TM10 Mode as a Function of Temperature for Different Substrates %A A. Elrashidi %A K. Elleithy %A Hassan Bajwa %J International Journal of Next-Generation Networks %D 2011 %I Academy & Industry Research Collaboration Center (AIRCC) %X A temperature is one of the parameters that have a great effect on the performance of microstrip antennas for TM10 mode at 2.4 GHz frequency range. The effect of temperature on a resonance frequency, input impedance, voltage standing wave ratio, and return loss on the performance of a cylindrical microstripprinted antenna is studied in this paper. The effect of temperature on electric and magnetic fields are also studied. Three different substrate materials RT/duroid-5880 PTFE, K-6098 Teflon/Glass, and Epsilam-10 ceramic-filled Teflon are used for verifying the new model. %K Temperature %K Voltage Standing Wave Ratio VSWR %K Return loss S11 %K effective dielectric constant %K Transverse Magnetic TM10 model. %U http://airccse.org/journal/ijngn/papers/3311ijngn01.pdf
