Abstract :
A microstrip antenna formed by two stacked patches is proposed for dual-frequency and broad-band performance. Different E-plane and H-plane arrangements are studied to achieve an isolation between bands better than 30 dB. A prototype operating at the 1.8 GHz and 3.5 GHz bands has been simulated and tested.
