Beamwidth Enhancement of Microstrip Antennas Using Capacitive Via-Fence Loading

In this paper, a general approach to enhance the beamwidth of microstrip antennas is proposed for wide beam coverage in both E- and H-planes. A microstrip antenna loaded with two arrays of capacitive via fences is propounded and systematically studied. By introducing the vertical currents brought by...
