Abstract :
An applied technique of shorted pin at wide-band E-shaped patch antenna, fed through a coaxial probe, is described. The finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method was used in the simulations. The posts are applied at full and half reduced E-antenna and the return losses simulations and measurements are presented.
