Abstract
In a microstrip patch antenna, multipath signals from below the horizon can be reduced by forming ground elements along the edge of the dielectric substrate. Additionally, by using lugs and capacitive elements in the patch antenna, the bandwidth of the antenna can be expanded while maintaining all other antenna characteristics as good as possible.
