This article introduces some of the basic concepts of patch antennas. It will cover topics including: principles of operation, impedance matching, radiation pattern and related aspects, bandwidth, and efficiency. The fundamental mode of a rectangular patch is often denoted using cavity theory. The electric field is zero at the center of the patch, maximum (positive) at one side, and minimum (negative) on the opposite side.
