Surface-wave excitation from microstrip antennas is of major concern in many practical antenna applications. In this paper, the challenge of reducing the surface-wave excitation from microstrip antennas in a general way is addressed. The proposed approach is based on a theorem called the reduced surface wave (RSW) theorem. The RSW theorem suggests that by properly selecting the permittivity of the...
