Abstract :
A wideband vertical patch antenna (VPA) is depicted, which is devised from a single circular vertical patch. Without increasing the projection area, a C-shaped proximity-coupled fed VPA with 40% bandwidth and over 6 dBi gain across entire frequency band is designed and tested. Stable and broadside patterns are maintained across the matching band.
