Wide bandwidth and high gain designs of sectoral microstrip antennas gap-coupled with parasitic arc shape patches are proposed. In 1800 MHz frequency band, optimum response with bandwidth of more than 50% and peak gain of 10 dBi is obtained for 30 • sectoral angle employing two gap-coupled arc shape patches. Further gap-coupled variations of slot cut single arc shape patch with 60 • sectoral patch is presented. This design yields bandwidth of above 930 MHz (∼ 53%) with peak gain of more than 10 dBi. The comparison for the proposed gap-coupled sectoral variations with reported antennas is presented. Proposed gap-coupled sectoral configurations are single layer and thus simple in design and yet offers bandwidth and gain of larger than 50% and 10 dBi, respectively.
