Abstract :
A meandering probe fed stacked patch antenna is presented. The stacked patch configuration can greatly enhance the impedance bandwidth up to 37% (SWR<1.5). The cross polarization is less than -20dB across the operating bandwidth. The proposed antenna has symmetric co-polar radiation patterns in both E- and H-plane. The antenna has a gain of 9dBi
