Abstract :
Dual-frequency operation of a T-strip loaded microstrip patch antenna is introduced. The procedure for simultaneous input impedance matching at both resonant frequencies is also described. We performed both simulation and experiments, which show good consistency between each other. Finally, based on our simulation and experimental results, return losses and radiation patterns are also discussed.
