Abstract :
The authors present several modifications to the conventional aperture coupled microstrip antenna structure that further increase the antenna´s bandwidth. The visibility of a stripline feed network is also demonstrated. The modifications are applicable when a microstrip feed network is employed but are especially useful when stripline is used due to the inherently lower feed-line to slot coupling.<>
