Abstract
AbstractThis letter introduces a novel bandwidth‐enhanced low‐profile (thin structure) patch antenna adopting double U‐slot loading and parasitic structures. The proposed antenna features single‐layer topology, thin structure of 0.027 , enhanced −10 dB impedance bandwidth of 12.5%, and unidirectional radiation pattern at Ku‐band. Performances of the proposed antenna are validated through full‐wave simulations and measurements. The proposed antenna element is further duplicated to form a patch antenna array, with the parasitic structures shared by adjacent elements. The proposed antenna demonstrates potential in applications demanding wideband, highly directional radiation, and thin structure for seamless integration.
