Coax‐fed inverted L‐shaped microstrip antennas and parasitically coupled inverted L‐microstrip antennas are presented. The inverted L‐shaped microstrip antenna gives an impedance bandwidth of 30.6%, which is increased to 33.7% by parasitic coupling. The bandwidth has been achieved with a substrate thickness of 2 mm. Radiation patterns and gains are also studied and presented. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
