	abstract = {The resonant characteristics of superconducting rectangular microstrip patch antenna witha superstrate layer are investigated using a full-wave spectral analysis in conjunction with the complexresistive boundary condition. The complex surface impedance of superconducting patch is determinedusing London{\textquoteright}s equation and the two-fluid model of Gorter and Casimir. Numerical results using thefull-wave analysis presented here are in excellent agreement with theoretical and experimental resultsavailable in the open literature. Numerical results show that the effect of the superstrate layer on theresonant frequency and half-power bandwidth of the superconducting rectangular patch is stronger thanthat of the structure without superstrate layer as both the thickness and permittivity of the superstrateincrease. Finally, numerical results concerning the effects of the parameters of superstrate-substrateand superconducting patch on the antenna performance are also presented and discussed},
