What is the radiation pattern of a patch antenna over a large ground plane?

  • A.An end fire beam directed along the plane of the substrate itself
  • B.An omnidirectional pattern in the plane containing the ground plane
  • C.A broad beam directed normal to the patch
  • D.A doughnut shaped pattern with a null perpendicular to the patch surface

Answer: C

The two radiating edges add in phase broadside, and the ground plane suppresses radiation backwards, so the pattern is a single broad lobe pointing away from the board. That makes patches natural for conformal mounting on a surface that should radiate outward. A doughnut belongs to a dipole, end fire to a travelling wave structure, and an omnidirectional pattern in the board plane to a monopole. The pattern follows directly from the two slot model.
