Abstract
Two novel configurations for increasing theimpedance bandwidth of the microstrip patch antennas havebeen proposed for operating in the 3G mobile communicationrange. In these configurations, additional resonators of semicircularshape rather than conventional rectangle are gapcoupled to the non-radiating edges of the fed rectangular patch.A comparative study is done between the antennas of the samesize with two semicircular parasitic patches and an antennahaving a combination of semi-circular and rectangularparasitic patches. Compared to the available broadbandantennas, the proposed antenna structure gives a betterbandwidth.
