## Abstract When trying to increase the bandwidth of antennas based on high‐impedance surfaces, the radiation pattern tends to split near the resonance frequency of the artificial perfect magnetic conductor (PMC). This problem is solved here by reducing the size of the PMC in the E‐plane and by mak

Abstract
A high‐gain wideband low‐profile microstrip patch antenna array is designed and tested. A method for enhancing the impedance bandwidth through the combination of a driven rectangular patch with parasitic elements is proposed. The array, which has 16 elements in a 4 × 4 arrangement, is pasted on a 2‐mm dielectric substrate. The impedance bandwidth and the gain of the array is 12% (for SWR ≤ 2) centered at 4.5 GHz and 20 dBi, respectively. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Two wideband tapered slot antennas are designed, fabricated, and tested. The first antenna, which is fabricated on a high dielectric constant substrate (e r 5 10.2), shows a measured return loss of better than 10 dB from 1.6 to 12.4 GHz (7.7:1 bandwidth), and an antenna gain varying from 3.6 to 7.8
## Abstract In this article, one wideband circularly polarized microstrip antenna array has been proposed and investigated. The technique of sequential rotation subarray has been employed to construct the whole antenna array, which enhances the impedance bandwidth and axial ratio (AR) bandwidth by
A new low-cost dual-polarized microstrip antenna array with a single layer is proposed. Its element is the parallel corner-fed square patch with two ports. The design, analysis, and experimental results of a 12 GHz 16-element array on a 0.8 mm thick substrate are presented. Its measured isolation is
## Abstract A very low‐profile conical antenna with a simple structure and wideband characteristic is proposed in this article. The antenna structure consists of a monoconical conducting body, a parasitic ring shorted to a finite‐sized ground plate to achieve low‐profile characteristic (Nakano et a
## Abstract The performance of a V‐slotted microstrip patch antenna, with and without additional edge slots, is investigated. It is shown that the V‐slotted patch is broadband, but its cross polarization increases with frequency. Placing two additional rectangular slots at the patch edges, parallel
