Abstract

In this paper, we introduce a novel feeding technique for bandwidth enhancement of a rectangular microstrip antenna. This antenna offers an impedance bandwidth of 22% without degrading the efficiency. The effect of the feed parameters upon patch characteristics such as resonant frequency, impedance bandwidth, and radiation pattern are studied in detail. The experimental results are verified using the FDTD results. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
