Abstract :
A rectangular microstrip antenna with a pyramidal-shaped ground plane has been designed. A simple theoretical model is presented along with some experimental results. The new design has higher gain compared to an ordinary finite ground plane microstrip antenna. It is also shown that it is possible to adjust nulls and the resonance frequencies by varying the inclination angle.
