Abstract :
This paper presents a novel proximity fed patch antenna based on electromagnetic coupling. A bandwidth of 22.7% for VSWR<2 has been obtained from the proposed antenna. Investigations on the impedance and radiation characteristics have been carried out. The investigations show that the proposed antenna not only offers the enhanced impedance bandwidth, but also possesses the same characteristics over the desired frequency band.
