Abstract
A simple electromagnetically coupled broadband printed microstrip antenna suitable for multifunctional wireless communication bands is presented. V-slots and corner notches are employed in a rectangular patch to achieve broadband operation. The proposed antenna has a 2:1 VSWR bandwidth of 51% from 3.75 GHz to 6.33 GHz. The simulated and measured reflection characteristics of the antenna along with the radiation patterns and gain are presented and discussed.
