Abstract
A wideband L-probe fed microstrip patch antenna is proposed. By employing L-shaped feed and modification of E-H shaped patch, an antenna with 30% impedance bandwidth (return loss - 10 dB) and a gain of 9.41 dBi is achieved. It is shown that the wide bandwidth is caused by a two-frequency resonance. The achievable experimental 3-dB beamwidth in the azimuth and elevation are 63.53 degrees and 51.37 degrees respectively at the center frequency.
