ABSTRACT: A novel method for tri-band microstrip array antenna with improvement in the bandwidth by incorporating wide slots and additional resonators which is gap-coupled to the non-radiating edges of a radiating element is presented. The experimental results show that two element slot-loaded gap-coupled microstrip array antenna gives a ?10 dB return loss band-width for three bands. The design specifications, radiation patterns and gain of the proposed antennas are presented and described.
