Abstract :
This study demonstrates a new bandwidth improvement technique using a structure of impedance-matching function which is composed of two series-stubs located on the patch conductor.The effectiveness of the matching stubs on the bandwidth improvement has been confirmed experimentally. The proposed method is especially effective against a thin microstrip patch antenna that it is hard to apply L-probe method.
