Abstract :
The slot-coupled method is proposed as an alternative to the popular electromagnetically coupled technique (EMC) for feeding microstrip dipole antennas. This letter describes the basic design procedure and some key advantages of this method over EMC. Experimental results confirm the effective and practical performance of the proposed structure.
