Abstract :
A wide-band aperture coupled 2×4 microstrip array antenna using inverted feeding structures is presented for serving both Personal Communications Services and International Mobile Telecommunications-2000 services simultaneously. The measured bandwidth for 10 dB return loss at each port is 19.84% and 28.25%, respectively, which cover both services.
