β¦ Synopsis
Abstract
A new stacked microstrip antenna structure that enhances the bandwidth without changing the resonance frequency is proposed and studied in this paper. The effect of the various antenna parameters on the bandwidth is investigated. The resulting antenna, using the proposed structure, has an ultraβwide bandwidth of 35%, compared to 21.8% for the conventional stacked antenna structure. The proposed structure has little effect on the antenna's radiation characteristics. The analysis of the proposed structure is carried out using the FDTD method. Β© 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

## Abstract The quality factor, bandwidth, and efficiency are antenna's figures of merit and these are interrelated. There is no typical method that gives full freedom to optimize these independently. Here we proposed a novel and new method to optimize bandwidth with respect to radiation quality fa
## Abstract A new technique is developed to best locate the coaxial feed of a circularly polarized stacked microstrip antenna with the objective of improving the axialβratio bandwidth and CP quality of the antenna. In the proposed technique, we move the single feed on an arc between the diagonal an
A new method for enhancing the 2:1 VSWR impedance bandwidth of microstrip antennas is presented. Bandwidth enhancement is achie¨ed by loading the microstrip antenna by a ceramic microwa¨e ( ) dielectric resonator DR .

The resonant frequency of a circular patch antenna with and without circular cavity is measured. The patch miniaturization in the presence of the cavity is proved. Different methods of reducing resonant frequencies and broadening bandwidth without significantly reducing antenna gain are presented. C
