Abstract :
A U-slot coupled patch antenna with T-shaped microstrip feedline is studied. The characteristics of the proposed antenna depend highly on the length (ld) of the horizontal as well as the offset position (offset) of the feed line. The measured bandwidth was approximately 76.8% for the VSWR ⩽ 2.0. Experimental results for the radiation patterns with relatively good characteristics are presented
