Abstract :
A novel dual-band microstrip antenna is demonstrated. The resonant frequencies can be varied over a wide frequency range and the input impedances are easily matched for both resonance frequencies. The radiation pattern is not affected by the modification for the dual-frequency operation. The design process is physically intuitive and relatively simple.<>
