Abstract :
A novel dual-band microstrip antenna is introduced. The entire structure is planar and can be easily mass-produced by using printed-circuit technology. The antenna consists of multiple layers with metallic strips placed at one of the dielectric interfaces under the radiating patch. The resonant frequencies can be selected over a wide frequency range, and the impedance matching at those two frequencies is relatively simple. The physically intuitive cavity model is used for the analysis. A relatively simple design scheme is included
