“…The most serious limitations of microstrip antenna are its narrow bandwidth and poor gain (Balanis, 2005). Various techniques such as shorting post loading (Deshmukh et al, 2013;Kumar and Singh, 2011;Singh et al, 2010), gap-coupling (Kumar, 2014;Kumar and Singh, 2009;Mishra et al, 2019;Sharma, 2014), metamaterials (Yem and Lan, 2018), photonic band gap crystals (Sudha and Vedavathy, 2001), frequency selective surface (Yahya et al, 2018), defected ground structure (Ajay et al, 2019;Kumar and Masa-Campos, 2015;Kapoor et al, 2020;Njokweni and Kumar, 2020), etc., can be used to improve the antenna performance. Multiband antennas are required to be used for different bands applications.…”
