Abstract :
By coupling two shorted semi-disc patches together along their diameter edges, both compactness and wide bandwidth can be obtained. Such a novel microstrip antenna available for the future IMT-2000 handsets incorporates only one single probe-feed in one semi-disc, while the desirable impedance bandwidth is broadened by simply increasing the thickness of this compact internal antenna. Antenna characteristics and variations applying different substrates are addressed
