In this work, parasitic elements are combined with inserted capacitances to tilt the radiated beam of a microstrip patch antenna. An application case at 2.45 GHz was considered for discussion. Realized gains up to 8 dBi and tilts within ±15° were achieved by the proposed configuration. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Microwave Opt Technol Lett 55:2710–2713, 2015
