1. INTRODUCTION
Computation of the broadband matching potential of a microstrip
antenna requires determination of the lumped wideband equivalent
circuit that models the input impedance of the antenna on a wide
frequency band, i.e., from zero up to frequencies that contribute the
most in the Bode-Fano integral [13]. The maximum theoretical return
loss of a microstrip antenna can be calculated versus bandwidth by

where L and C0, 0 specify the asymptotic behavior of the feedpoint impedance of the antenna at the higher and lower edges of the
frequency band of modeling, respectively; M is the number of radiation
resonances in the frequency band of interest; And f0, i , Q0, i and R0, i
are the resonant frequency, Q-factor and radiation resistance of the ith
radiating mode, respectively.
The input impedance of the antenna at suciently low frequencies
