            Abstract : 
In this paper, a patch antenna for the PCS and IMT-2000 dual band are studied. In an attempt to enhance the impedance bandwidth, a triangular U-slot patch antenna is proposed that has an L-strip feed, and it has been experimentally studied. The frequency bandwidth of a triangular U-slot patch antenna can be increased by the L-strip-feed structure. The impedance bandwidth (SWR≤2) of the fabricated single element is 550.6 MHz (28.68%). Designed originally for PCS and IMT-2000 service band, the proposed antenna, with its simple structure, may easily be mass-produced and may have various commercial applications.
