Printed microstrip antennas are known to have limitations in terms of bandwidth and efficiency all imposed by the presence of the dielectric substrate. In this paper, to overcome these limitations, rather than using a superstrate geometry, the printed circuit is etched out of metal and supported in "strategic points" by(metallic or nonmetallic) post. The main motivation for this work was to obtain the wide bandwidth microstrip antennal which exhibits a higher efficiency than conventional ones. In this paper, to increase the bandwidth, patch sizes, electrical thickness and impedance matching are considered.
