  1. This paper describes a methodology for designing feed networks for single-polarized aperture-coupled microstrip patch (ACMP) antennas with dual-offset microstrip feedlines. The method involves characterizing the effective series impedance of the antenna when it is fed in a balanced manner as a function of the distance between the dual feedlines. Fitting equations were generated from the data to relate the effective series impedance to the feed geometry, allowing the design of the matching network for any effective impedance. This work demonstrates that ACMP antennas can be coupled to dual-offset feedlines with λ/4 transformers and T-junctions with infinite combinations of impedance for the λ/4 transformer. A 10 GHz single-polarized ACMP antenna was designed and implemented obtaining satisfactory impedance matching.
