A novel coupled fed small antenna

The characteristics of a single shorting plane with a shorting post L-shaped probe fed antenna and a single shorting plane with a capacitive shorted post L-shaped probe fed antenna are investigated. The patches are designed at a height of about 8.4% of the wavelength The single shorting plane with a shorting post L-shaped probe fed antenna is able to achieve a bandwidth of about 44% and a gain of about 7 dBi. The single shorting plane with a shorting post L-shaped probe fed antenna is able to obtain dual band characteristics.
