Abstract :
In this paper the theoretical investigations have been carried out to improve the bandwidth and gain of the antenna using multilayer configuration. The antenna shows the broad bandwidth when a patch is stacked over fed patch in gap coupled structure. Typically a 42.65 % bandwidth is achieved in three layer antenna. Further the bandwidth of the antenna depends inversely on the gap(s). The gain of the antenna is found to be 6.08 dB with 3 dB beam width of 920. The theoretical results are compared with IE3D simulation and reported experimental data.
