“…As evidenced even in Munson's first paper [5], this has always been an issue. In a 1983 Symposium paper [22], Dean Paschen showed how filter theory could be used to expand the impedance bandwidth of microstrip antennas up to 35%.…”

“…The microstrip patch we recognize today did not become widely known for another 17 years, through the work of Byron [4], Munson [5,6], and Howell [7,8]. However, what the Deschamps and Sichak paper did do was to foster new ways of thinking about complete antenna structures and the subsequent performance benefits and reductions in size, weight, and cost that could be realized through the use of microstrip or stripline transmission lines.…”

“…Rules of thumb for their design are included along with measured results for a flat version of a wrap-around antenna. Bandwidth was always an issue: Munson states "Several methods are currently being explored…to increase the bandwidth of microstrip antennas [5]." In the same paper, he also mentioned work on arrays of individual microstrip (patch) elements that would use pin diodes for phase shifting.…”

“…In a paper presented at the Twenty-Second Annual Symposium of the USAF Research and Development Program in 1972, Bob Munson described the first embodiment of the microstrip antenna that quickly captured the attention of the antenna community and grew in popularity and usefulness [5]. The microstrip radiators that Munson used were either metallic strips wrapped around missiles for telemetry systems or flat elements.…”

During this symposium Deschamps and Sichak, working for the Federal Telecommunications Laboratory, presented their work entitled "Microstrip Microwave Antennas." Here we commemorate this now declassified work, often cited as the "first microstrip antenna paper," by reflecting upon it in the light of significant advances in microstrip antenna theory and design that have sprung from the pages of the Symposia proceedings since. We conclude with a discussion of the future of microstrip antennas and related structures. SUBJECT TERMS

“…After nearly twenty years from this patent, first microstrip antennas were built physically by Munson [12], [13], [14] and Howell [15], and they published a paper entitled "Single Slot Cavity Antennas Assembly" announcing their design and realization of the first microstrip antenna. In addition, Bahl and Bhartia [16], [17] and James, Hall and Wood [18], [19] It is mentioned in [21] that the gain of a conventional microstrip patch antenna can be increased by about 3 dB by placing a rectangular loop shaped parasitic radiator which is placed at a specific distance away from the patch antenna surface.…”

A high-gain microstrip patch-type WiMAX antenna operating at 3.5 GHz has been designed with a parasitic radiator and a raised ground plane. Antenna design has been carried out through extensive three-dimensional electromagnetic simulations. The patch antenna itself provides a realized gain of about 3.6 dB at 3.5 GHz. When a parasitic radiator is placed on top of the patch antenna, the gain increases from about 3.6 dB to about 7.4 dB. The raised ground plane further enhances the gain by about 1.5 dB. Hence the overall gain improvement is about 5.3 dB without the need of a radio-frequency amplifier.
