Abstract :
Increasing the substrate thickness of a coaxially fed microstrip antenna reinforces interactions between modes, and provides the antenna with specific characteristics. Then a new working domain, monitored by an empiric law, is defined ensuring a broad band matching. Such an antenna shows the same radiation pattern as one running on its fundamental mode.
