Antenna theory is quite new to me and I found in constantine Balanis's book that there's a relationship between maximum directivity and effective area of an antenna-if we increase effective area, directivity will also increase. The picture of antenna author used to derive the equation was a horn antenna. Is the equation valid for patch antenna?
I want to know another thing-- as patch antenna radiates signal from edges not through the surface, then which area I would consider as effective area for patch antenna?- is it the edge area or surface area of metallic plate?
My aim is to enhance directivity of a patch antenna. so, please provide me some ideas to achieve high directivity.
Thanks
