Abstract :
A suspended plate antenna fed by a novel printed feed consisting of a 50 Ω transmission line loaded with a rectangular printed loop is presented. The antenna exhibits an impedance bandwidth of 12.4 % for VSWR≤2 over a frequency range of 2.14 to 2.42 GHz. Finite element method simulations have been used in designing the antenna.
