Improved aperture-coupled microstrip antenna By Mohamed Morsy
Coplanar Patch Antenna • The coplanar waveguide, compared with the microstrip line, has advantages • such as low radiation loss, less dispersion, uniplanar configuration

Radiation pattern after adding metal sheet at the substrate and adjusting the stub match
conclusion • Using coplanar patch antenna is not a good choice in case of aperture coupled microstrip patch antenna • although it has low radiation loss, less dispersion and high efficiency it will act as a reflector to the aperture slot radiation which radiates on both sides of the ground plane resulting in huge amount of back radiation that destroys the antenna functionality • Depending only on stacked slot coupled antenna will give better results in terms of radiation pattern
Future workUsing new innovation of aperture coupled microstrip antenna that gives better radiation pattern
