  • Abstract
    The conformal FDTD analysis of the dual band dual polarized octagonal patch antenna is presented. During the study it is observed that selection of feed length feed offset from the geometric centre of the patch causes only slight variations in the characteristics. The antenna exhibits gain comparable to that of standard circular patch and is highly suitable for GSM and Bluetooth applications.
