Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main"> <title>ABSTRACT</title> <p>In this article, a new high‐gain wideband L‐probe proximity‐fed circular patch antenna using electrically thick substrate is proposed. By employing a dual‐patch microstrip antenna excited by two L‐probes, the bandwidths requirement for the ultrahigh frequency (UHF) and microwave radio frequency identification (RFID) application are met. The antennas integrated with slot‐loading techniques are extensively studied. It is demonstrated that the proposed antenna achieves widebands of UHF and microwave for RFID application. A good agreement is obtained between the computed and measured results. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Microwave Opt Technol Lett 56:1421–1424, 2014</p> </abstract>
