Abstract
A circular microstrip antenna loaded along its feed axis with either one st ub or two stubs has been analyzed using improved linear transmission line m odel. When the length of the stub is small, the frequency is tuned over 9% range in L-band and, when it is comparable to lambda /4, it exhibits dual-f requency operation. The experimental results are in good agreement with the theoretical results.
