“…Recent advances in wireless communications, radar, satellite and space programs have introduced tremendous demands in the antenna technology (Mobashsher et al, 2010;Shakib et al, 2010a;Azim et al, 2011;Islam et al, 2009a;. Among the various type of antenna, microstrip antennas are of special interest because of their light weight, low profile, compactness and compatibility with integrated circuits, though they suffer from some drawbacks e.g., narrow bandwidth, low gain and excitation of surface waves (Garg et al, 2001;Azim et al, 2010).…”
