Abstract
The performance of a dual band meanderline antenna is improved with the addition of a conductive patch. It is well known that a meanderline antenna will have various resonances. A conductive patch capacitively coupled to the meanderline broadens and move the second resonance frequency. Connecting the conductive patch to a coherent power source causes additional bandwidth enhancements.
