The C-shaped microstrip antenna is a compact variation of rectangular microstrip antenna and it has smaller bandwidth as compared to the rectangular patch. In this paper, bandwidth of C-shaped microstrip antenna is first increased by using proximity feeding technique. Further gap-coupled configuration of two C-shaped microstrip antennas on thicker substrate is proposed. It gives bandwidth of mo...

In this paper a microstrip antenna on a suspended substrate with capacitive feed is presented. capacitive feed is created by a slot within the rectangular patch around the feed point. The proposed antenna exhibits a much higher impedance bandwidth of about 47% (S11 < −10 dB). Effects of key design parameters such as the air gap between the substrate and the ground plane, the gap width between r...
