Abstract
The Full-Wave Analysis Method (FWAM) is employed to show that a stacked microstrip dual-patch antenna (SMDPA) may have a much wider bandwidth than that of the ordinary uni-patch one. By means of Discrete Complex Image Theory (DCIT), the Sommerfeld Integrals (SI) involved are accurately calculated at a speed several hundred times faster than the Numerical Integration Method (NIM). The feeding structure of the SMDPA is then improved and the bandwidth is extended to about 22% or more for VSWR⩽2. Finally, a matching network is constructed to obtain a bandwidth of about 25% for VSWR⩽1.5
