A compact and wideband microstrip patch antenna for multi-band wireless communications was proposed and designed.The antenna is fed by co-plane capacitive coupling method to compensate the inductance of the feeding probe
using stacked substrate of FR4 and air
an E-E or half E-E shaped radiating patch to reduce the size of the antenna.The results show that the bandwidths of the E-E and half E-E shape microstrip antennas are 1.85~2.57 GHz (relative bandwidth 32.6%) and 1.85~2.50 GHz (relative bandwidth 29.9%)
respectively.Compared with ordinary E-shaped microstrip antenna
the area of E-E and half E-E microstrip antenna reducts by 47% and 61% patch.
