Abstract
Expressions for the electroacoustic and electromagnetic field components of a microstrip dipole antenna (MSDA) with its feed points displaced transverse to the antenna axis are obtained in an isotropic warm plasma medium by using linearized hydrodynamic theory and vector wave function technique. The results are computed and plotted for different ratios of plasma to source frequency. The expressions for other radiation properties such as radiation resistance and radiation efficiency are deriveo and results are computed and plotted for different ratios of plasma to source frequency. The results of displaced feed points MSDA are compared with that of centre fed MSDA. It is observed that the radiation properties of the antenna are modified considerably in the presence of plasma.
