ABSTRACT
The scattering radar cross section (RCS) of a superstrate loaded resistive rectangular microstrip patch which is printed on isotropic or uniaxial anisotropic substrate are investigated, where an accurate design based on the moment method technique in the spectral domain is developed. Entire domain sinusoid basis functions without edge condition and roof top sub-domain basis functions are introduced to expand the unknown current on the metal patches. The integral equation includes a superstrate resistive boundary condition on the surface of the patch and the effects of anisotropic substrate are developed. The necessary terms for representing the surface resistance on the patch were derived and were included in the equation in the form of a resistance matrix. Comparative study between our results and those available in the literature is done and showed a very good agreement.
