Abstract :
This paper presents an investigation of the coupling between two microstrip-fed slot antennas with back cover located in series and parallel configurations. In this analysis, the full-wave spectral domain technique employing the Galerkin method is used. The validity of the numerical technique in predicting the resonant frequency, the return and transmission losses of the coupled slot antennas is supported by experiments
