Abstract :
A trapezoidal microstrip patch antenna (MPA) with a pair of trapezoidal slots has been demonstrated. Compared to a common E-shaped patch antenna with rectangular slots, the proposed design has more design parameters, allowing antenna designers to have more design facilities for improving antenna performances
