The equivalent dipole-moment method (EDM) is extended and applied in the analysis of electromagnetic (EM) radiation by\r\narbitrarily shaped microstrip antenna in this paper. The method of moments (MoM) is used to solve the volume-surface integral\r\nequation (VSIE). A strip model is applied in the treatment of the feeding probe of the microstrip antenna, in which the discretized\r\ntriangular elements of the excitation source are equivalent as dipole models. The proposed approach is sufficiently versatile in\r\nhandling arbitrarily shaped microstrip antenna and is easily constructed through a simple procedure. Numerical results are given\r\nto demonstrate the accuracy and efficiency of this method.
