✦ Synopsis

We present results of a recent investigation into a wide-band and high gain ( ) patch microstrip antenna using the finite-difference time-domain FDTD method. The substrate-superstrate resonance technique was used to increase the antenna element gain. An aperture-coupled rectangular patch microstrip antenna with two superstrate layers was designed, and the effect of the finite ground plane on the gain of the antenna element was analyzed. The antenna was fabricated and tested. The measured results are presented in comparison with the simulated ones.
