Abstract:
An arrow-shaped microstrip antenna with a pair of narrow
slots embedded near the non-radiating edges gives wide impedance bandwidth.
The experimental and simulated (!E3D) results show that antenna
bandwidth is -3.5 times that of a conventional patch with the added advantage
of reduced antenna size. The radiation characteristics are found to he uniform throughout the operating band

Abstract:
A novel technique fitr the bat dividth enhancement of conventional
rectangular microstrip antenna is proposed in this paper. When a
high permittivity dielectric resonator of suitable resonant frequency was
loaded over the patch. the % bandwidth of the antenna was increased by
more than five tunes without much affecting its gain and radiation performance.
A much more improved bandwidth was obtained when the dielectric
resonator was placed on the feedline. Experimental study shows a 2:1
VSWR bandwidth of more than 10% and excellent cross polarization performance
with increased pass band and radiation coverage abnost the same
as that of rectangular microstrip antenna

Abstract:
A theoretical analysis of a symmetric T-shaped rnicrostripfed
rectangular microstrip antenna using the finite-difference titnedoniain
(FDTD) method is presented in this paper. The resonant frequency,
return loss, impedance bandwidth, and radiation patterns are
predicted and are in good agreement with the measured results

Abstract:
This paper presents the outcome of the experimental studies
performed on L-strip fed compact rectangular microstrip antenna.
The effect of the feed parameters upon the characteristics of the antenna
is studied in detail. The antenna offers an impedance bandwidth of
nearly 20% and is suitable for broadband applications

Abstract:
Bandwidth enhancement of a rectangular microstrip
antenna using a T-shaped microstrip feed is explored in this paper.
A 2:1 VSWR impedance bandwidth of 23% is achieved by employing
this technique. The far-field patterns are stable across the pass band.
The proposed antenna can be used conveniently in broadband communications
