Abstract :
A recently introduce technique for improving cross-polarisation in microstrip antenna is to employ defected ground structure (DGS). In this paper, the experimental investigations have been carried out on a microstrip antenna that has been embedded with a DGS element having V-slot shape. It was found that the undesired cross-polarisation has been reduced while the impedance bandwidth has broadened.
