Abstract
The feasibility of FDTD simulations for the investigation of characteristics of dual-resonant stacked patch antennas at 2 GHz was studied. The complex impedance characteristics were obtained with reasonably good agreement with the measurements. The agreement of radiation pattern results was also good.
