structure, and easy to fabricate and to be integrated
with solid-state devices. Recently, microstrip
antennas can be seen for use in radio systems with
differently signal operation as well. For example, a
differentially-driven microstrip antenna integrated
with a push-pull power amplifier in Gallium. which
makes the push-pull power amplifier more compact
and efficient. However, the narrow bandwidths
limit their applications in modern wireless
communication systems.
Generally a Conventional microstrip
antenna has a radiating patch of any planar
geometry (e.g. square, rectangular, Circular, Ellipse
and ring). Microstrip patch antennas are increasing
in popularity for use in wireless applications due to
their low-profile structure. Therefore they are Fig. 1The configuration of the proposed design
