Abstract
This paper presents a new feeding structure for increasing the impedance bandwidth of a suspended plate antenna. A vertical probe‐fed conducting sheet is used to feed the radiating plate instead of a thin probe. The measurements of the impedance and radiation characteristics of the proposed suspended plate antenna are carried out. A 2:1 VSWR impedance bandwidth of 60% is achieved. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Microwave Opt Technol Lett 38: 21–25, 2003

## Abstract Significant effects of ground‐plane dimensions on the impedance bandwidth of a planar inverted‐F antenna for a UMTS (1920–2170 MHz) mobile handset are presented. Experimental results show that, by varying the ground‐plane length, the antenna studied can have an impedance bandwidth (10 d
## Abstract Wideband planar monopole antennas have recently been proposed for use on digital mobile terminals. The square planar monopole is the simplest to analyze, and suffers little degradation of radiation pattern within the impedance bandwidth. The addition of a bevel on one or both sides of t
This paper presents the characteristics of a half bowtieshaped, meander-type antenna for broadband impedance bandwidth. The design was based on a modified meander line and a bowtie shape with coaxial feeding. The maximum measured impedance bandwidth (Ϫ10 dB) was approximately 1.5075 , or about 23.8%
The stacked structure of an aperture-coupled cylindrical ( ) dielectric resonator DR antenna is studied experimentally. The effects of the offset and the air gap between the dri¨en and parasitic DR elements are in¨estigated. It is found that the bandwidth of the stacked structure can increase from t
