β¦ Synopsis
A wide operating bandwidth for a single-layer equilateraltriangular microstrip antenna can be obtained by embedding a pair of asymmetric bent slots inside the patch and inserting an inset microstripline section at the patch edge as an integrated reacti¨e load. With the proposed design, a group of three closely excited resonant modes of similar broadside radiation characteristics near the fundamental resonant mode of a corresponding simple equilateral-triangular microstrip antenna can be achie¨ed. Results show that an operating bandwidth as large as 4.5 times that of a simple triangular microstrip antenna can be achie¨ed. Details of the antenna design and experimental results are presented.

The characteristics of a slot-coupled circular microstrip antenna with chip-resistor and chip-capacitor loadings are studied. With a chip-resistor loading, a significant decrease in the resonant frequency of the microstrip antenna is achie¨ed, which can result in a large antenna size reduction, and
are used to check the accuracy of the measurement technique. A good agreement between the measured dielectric constant and the reported one is observed. The results show that the dielectric constant of the material can be measured using the waveguide cavities with a good accuracy. REFERENCES 1. L.P.
