Abstract: A compact method to analyze the input impedance of sources in a multilayers media has been developed. The dielectric layers are assumed to be anisotropic where all optic axes are perpendicular to the
stratification. A novel Microstrip B patch antenna has been presented. The effect of anisotropic Superstrate
layers on B shaped Microstrip Patch antenna is investigated. A variation formulation and a simulating results are employed to enhance the performance of Return loss (S-parameters), Axial Ratio, Directivity and Gain of B
shape Patch Antenna. The comparison of input impedance for rectangular Microstrip patch using our method and a published data are found to be in good agreement.
Key Words: Anisotropic Superstrate, Patch Antenna, Gain, Directivity, Return loss.
