Abstract
The performance characteristics of a coplanar waveguide (CPW) aperture-coupled microstrip patch antenna were investigated experimentally. A grounded CPW with a series gap in the center strip conductor was used to couple microwave power to the antenna through an aperture in the common ground plane. Results indicate good coupling efficiency and confirm the feasibility of this feeding technique.<>
