Abstract :
This paper investigated the effectiveness of co-located parasitic elements for enlarging the operating bandwidth of MSA. As the results, it was confirmed that co-located parasitic element in the E-plane could obtain larger bandwidth than those co-locating in the H-plane. It was also confirmed that the E-plane arrangement was suitable for the applications such as irradiating the service area.
