Abstract
A technique for broadening the bandwidth of the circular disc microstrip radiating element is described. Theory based on a simple circuit model is introduced and comparison with experimental work is shown. From this model, a matching circuit is devised, the resulting element giving a bandwidth of 35% (to a VSWR of 1.5) near 8 GHz. This makes the circular disc element suitable for a wide range of radar and communications antenna systems.Keywords
