Abstract :
By loading a pair of narrow slots close to the radiating edges of a bow-tie microstrip antenna, dual-frequency operation can be obtained using a single probe feed. Various frequency ratios, within the range 2.0-3.0, of the two operating frequencies can be obtained by varying the flare angle of the bow-tie patch. Details of the antenna design and experimental results are presented and discussed
