Abstract

A simple broadband proximity-coupled microstrip antenna is presented. A circular patch is used as the main radiator, and an H-shaped shot is cut in the ground plane. A stepped-width microstrip line is used to feed the patch through proximity coupling. The prototype antenna achieves an impedance bandwidth of 26%. Low cross-polar levels below -20 dB are observed in both E- and H-planes. The antenna is simple in structure and easy to be fabricated.
