The most serious limitation hindering the wider application of microstrip antenna technology is the narrow bandwidth of the basic element. For this reason, many elements with enhanced bandwidth have been investigated. This paper presents measured results for an under-coupled microstrip patch antenna with the improved bandwidth. The impedance was matched by an open-circuit tuning stub connected in shunt with the feed line.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
