Abstract :
The design and measured results of a rectangular U-slot patch antenna proximity fed by an L-shaped probe are described. Using a foam layer of thickness ~7% wavelength as a supporting substrate. An impedance bandwidth of 42.7% and a gain of 6.7 dBi has been achieved. The radiation patterns obtained are stable across the passband
