Summary :

A wide beamwidth and broad bandwidth microstrip antenna is presented. It consists of a rectangular patch antenna and a pair of parasitic short circuit patches placed over the radiating edges of the rectangular patch. The parasitic element not only widens the bandwidth of the antenna but also forms a narrowed pair of radiating edges, so the E-plane beamwidth becomes broader. An antenna trial model achieved a bandwidth of 16% (VSWR1.5) and a broad E-plane beamwidth of 165 degrees.
