need help!! Effects of changing dimentions in patch antenna - RF Cafe Forums

RF Cafe Forums closed its virtual doors in late 2012 mainly due to other social media platforms dominating public commenting venues. RF Cafe Forums began sometime around August of 2003 and was quite well-attended for many years. By 2012, Facebook and Twitter were overwhelmingly dominating online personal interaction, and RF Cafe Forums activity dropped off precipitously. Regardless, there are still lots of great posts in the archive that ware worth looking at. Below are the old forum threads, including responses to the original posts.

hiya, i'm a 2nd yr Beng student currently studying patch antennas. i really want to know the effects of changing ground plane size,director size and height, feed line width and patch diameter, etc in dual stub circular patch antennas, similar to those in some 3G base station antennas.

i already know changing of feed line width and ground plate can alter the bandwith, but why?and i can hardly find some explanation of how director works, and why it helps to increase the operation bandwidth.

it seens every diameter being changed is related to bandwidth, why?

( i really want to know the effects of changing ground plane size,director size and height, feed line width and patch diameter, etc )

thanks a lot for helping me!!!!
