Abstract :
This paper presents the performance of a new kind of single patch microstrip antenna: dual parallel slot patch antenna (DPSPA). When two parallel slots are incorporated on the antenna patch, the bandwidth increases above 30%. Compared to the U-slot microstrip patch antenna, DPSPA is simpler in construction. By only adjusting the length, width and position of the slots, one can obtain satisfactory results. A wideband patch antenna with 30% bandwidth is designed. It covers 1.9 through 2.4 GHz, which are very useful frequencies in modern wireless communications. Radiation patterns are also measured and presented.
