Abstract :
Several planar broadband gap-coupled circular microstrip antenna (MSA) configurations have been proposed. Only a single circular patch is fed, and a number of parasitic circular patches are gap-coupled, which results in an increase in both bandwidth and gain of the antenna. These antennas have been analyzed using method of moments based software.
