Abstract
A novel broad-band microstrip antenna is presented. The printed config uration consists of a shorted circular patch and a concentric parasiti c annular ring. Compared to a conventional microstrip patch, this ense mble is smaller in size with enhanced impedance bandwidth. Both experi mental and theoretical impedance behavior and radiation characteristic s of the modified patch are considered. Very good agreement between th e experiment and the theory was achieved.
