Aiming at the bandwidth enhancement for patch antennas, a new impedance matching scheme is presented. In this design, open-ended microstrip-lines are used as the matching resonators; the gaps between the lines are used as the J inverters. Numerical and experimental studies are executed to demonstrate this new structure. The measured and predicted results are in good agreement. The measured data show that the bandwidth of a sample antenna is increased by a factor of 3.3 after adding two matching resonators. The proposed matching structure is good in performance, and smaller in size than traditional matching structures.
