Figure 14 shows the simulated frequency response of the Figure 10 Return loss of varying the slot length Lsl
return loss. In this case, the slot length Lsl and the slot width
Wsl are adjusted so that the minimum return loss is greater
than 14 dB at the operation frequency. The bandwidth of the Wsl = 50 mm
return loss greater than 14 dB is approximately 10 %. For Wsl = 60 mm
comparison, the return loss characteristics of the conventional Wsl = 70 mm
stacked patch antenna is shown. Total height of the Wsl = 80 mm
conventional patch antenna is same as that of the proposed
antenna.
