Abstract :
A compact broadband microstrip bowtie antenna is proposed. By loading properly arranged slots in a bowtie patch antenna, broadband operation of a bowtie patch antenna are presented. The maximum impedance bandwidth achieved is 27% centered around 1.8 GHz, with good pattern characteristics.
