摘要:
A new approach is proposed to design a frequency-variable dual-band microstrip antenna. Two unbalanced microstrip lines are used to feed microstrip patch vertically with a branch-line coupler. The entire structure is designed on a single-layer substrate. The resonant frequencies of the microstrip patch can be changed by varying the dimensions of the unbalance feed lines. A prototype of the proposed antenna is fabricated and measured. (c) 2006 Wiley Periodicals. Inc.
