Abstract :
A new microstrip patch antenna (MPA) has been developed to enhance the radiation characteristics of the ordinary U-slot rectangular MPA with more low profile. The design is produced by folding the U-Slot patch to form the folded U-slot. A bandwidth of about 59% is obtained compared with 26% of the ordinary one.
