Abstract
A dual band microstrip antenna ( ) has a dielectric substrate ( ), a ground plane ( ) attached to a bottom surface ( ) of the substrate, a first and second radiating patches ( ), a first and second conductive posts ( ), and a first and second feeder cables ( ). The conductive posts each separately elevate a corresponding radiating patch an appropriate height above and parallel to a top surface ( ) of the substrate, and electrically connect each radiating patch to the ground plane. Feeder inner conductors ( ) are soldered to their respective radiating patches and feeder outer conductors ( ) are soldered to the ground plane. Impedance matching is achieved by selecting an appropriate distance between the solder positions of the posts and inner conductors on each radiating patch.
