Abstract

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 more than 300 MHz with broadside radiation pattern and gain of more than 5 dBi over most of the bandwidth. Further gap-coupled rectangular slot cut C-shaped microstrip antenna is proposed. This configuration yields bandwidth of more than 400 MHz.
