| Abstract: | The radiation characteristics of microstrip antennas consisting of one centre-fed patch and several identical parasitic patches are studied experimentally. The configurations investigated include a five-element cross and three- and seven-element linear arrays. A significant increase in gain is obtained by using close interelement spacing, with no degradation in pattern characteristics. |
