By the proper choice of the dimensions of the Y-shape patch and the gap distance for the feeding structure, an additional resonant mode and wide impedance matching can be realized. Both simulated and experimental results, such as antenna impedance bandwidth, antenna radiation characteristic, and antenna gain have been presented and discussed. The lower impedance bandwidth covers from 8.78 GHz to 9.05 GHz, and the upper impedance bandwidth covers from 11.64 GHz to 12.01 GHz. %U http://www.jpier.org/pierc/pier.php?paper=08041003
