Abstract :
Reports an experimental investigation of a stacked microstrip antenna with the parasitic element placed between the fed antenna and the ground plane. Results indicate that the size of the parasitic element as well as the spacing of separation between the fed antenna and the ground plane have profound effects on the resonance, radiation pattern and impedance characteristics of the antenna.
