Abstract
Aperture shape and size are the crucial parameters for the aperture-co upled microstrip antennas (ACMSA). In this communication, a systematic comparision of various aperture shapes for the aperture coupled recta ngular microstrip antenna has been carried out. An optimum ''hour glas s''-shaped aperture configuration has been proposed for maximum coupli ng.
