Abstract :
The paper presents a modified rectangular patch microstrip antenna having a triangular notch in one of its straight arm and designed on dielectric material under the presence of variable air gap. The measured performances of this antenna without air gap are compared with those obtained through simulation results of this antenna under the presence of variable air gap. It is observed that the performance of antenna improves significantly.
