Development of Wideband L-Probe Coupled Patch AntennaAbstract
The patch antenna fed by an L-shaped probe was proposed in 1998. This feeding method, and its modified version, the meandering strip, has led to the development of a new class of wideband patch antennas which can be operated in linear, circular or dual polarization with excellent performance characteristics. L-probe coupled patch antennas are simple in structure and low in material and production costs. Moreover, it can be designed with dual wideband performance which is very attractive for modern mobile communications. This paper presents a review of the general designs for linearly and circularly polarized L-probe patch antennas. Comparisons between measured and simulated results are presented. Methods for gain enhancement and cross polarization suppression are also introduced. The designs and performances of two dual-band wideband L-probe fed patch antennas are also described.
