ABSTRACT
In this paper detailed investigations have been
performed on the design of a microstrip patch
antenna array of given specifications using
IE3D, an electromagnetic simulation package
by Zeland Software Inc. Here a new idea of
trapezoidal patch has been used to increase the
bandwidth of the antenna array.
