Abstract

This work describes a new single‐layer rectangular patch antenna with two pairs of parallel slits designed for dual‐band operation. Numerical analyses are presented using the IE3D™ and the ENSEMBLE™ electromagnetic simulator softwares. A prototype was manufactured and good agreement between the measurements and the CAD predictions were observed. The results obtained with the proposed technical solution showed improvements in the antenna impedance bandwidth and in the radiation characteristics, while maintaining the same polarization direction over the entire operational frequency range. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
