Abstract (en)

The bandwidth of a microstrip circular patch antenna (1) of approximately half-wavelength diameter at the resonant frequency is increased by surrounding it with an annular conducting sheet (6) of approximately quarter-wavelength width separated from the patch (1) by a gap (5) and having its outer edge connected to the ground-plane (3). The resulting structure is particularly suitable for feeding a reflector antenna.
