Abstract :
In this paper, a new design technique for the impedance matching of inset feed section that improves the performance of a conventional and grooved microstrip patch antenna is proposed. The purposed impedance matching technique for inset feed microstrip patch antenna is based on the concept of coplanar waveguide feed line and has been investigated for a printed antenna at X-Band antenna operating at a frequency of 10GHz. The proposed technique has been used in the design of Grooved Microstrip patch antenna array.
