Abstract
In this paper the design and development of a compact broadband probe-fed Microstrip patch antenna for bandwidth improvement and antenna size reduction in a single design is proposed. The well-known technique of effective substrate thickness increment is performed to improve the impedance bandwidth, whereas for size reduction the electrical length of the conducting patch has been increased. A compact probe-fed inverted U-shaped microstrip patch antenna with a W-shaped ground plane has been designed and the experimental results are presented.
