Abstract
This article presents a novel design of corporate fed four‐element equilateral triangular microstrip array antenna (FETMSA) for multiband operation, which is attractive for emerging wireless communication systems. If FETMSA is fed through aperture, the coupling converts its multiband operation into triband operation. Further by using optimum slots in the radiating elements converts its tribands into dual wide bands, which may find application in synthetic aperture radar. The overall magnitude of impedance bandwidth is found to be 23.74% at X‐band frequencies with broadside radiation characteristics. This impedance bandwidth is 2.61 times more when compared with the impedance bandwidth of FETMSA. © Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

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.

## Abstract An equilateral‐triangular microstrip antenna with reconfigurable polarization capability is proposed. The proposed design is achieved by loading with three L‐type slits in the triangular patch and three PIN diodes are utilized to switch the slits on or off. According to the states of th

The maximum error in the 20᎐60 GHz frequency band is 1.5, 6.7, and 13.5% using the enhanced EF, split-cell, and staircase techniques, respectively
