| Abstract: | A microstrip antenna with large bandwidth is developed using a parasitic technique. Compared to the available wideband antennas, the proposed antenna structure is very compact and gives a less distorted radiation pattern with frequency. An impedance bandwidth eight times that of a conventional patch antenna of the same size is achieved. The concept of coupled microstrip line model is extended for theoretical interpretation of the impedance loci. The experimental procedure and results are described, and a theoretical analysis is presented |
