Abstract :
In this paper, the authors propose an effective design methodology for the impedance matching of aperture-coupled microstrip antennas. Our impedance matching method is described in detail in section 1. Then it is applied to design a 20%-bandwidth stacked patch antenna at 7GHz in section 2, as well as a Ku-band reconfigurable EBG resonator antenna with an embedded slot-fed patch antenna and a reconfigurable partially reflecting surface in section 3.
