1. This particularly applies to microstrip antennas such as the patch antenna. 2. Microstrip is an open structure whereas coaxial cable is a closed structure.3. This structure is known in radio engineering as microstrip line. 4. A wraparound microstrip antenna has been developed by DRDO for this system. 5. Microwave components such as power dividers can be formed from a microstrip . 6. High-gain omnidirectional antennas are generally realized using Microstrip Antenna ( OMA ). 7. A microstrip circuit uses a thin flat conductor which is parallel to a ground plane. 8. The half-wave rectangular microstrip antenna has a virtual shorting plane along its center. 9. The chief disadvantages are their bulk and cost when compared with technologies such as microstrip filters. 10.
