Abstract :
A new dual-band vertical patch antenna for broadside radiation is described. The antenna is fed by a proximity-coupled probe, which maintains the advantages of the original single-band vertical patch antenna, such as small size, wide bandwidth and simple structure. The achieved bandwidths are 7% and 26%, respectively, at the lower and upper frequency bands.
