In this paper, we have studied the improvement of gain and bandwidth characteristics by using double feeding and L-shaped inset feed line matching circuit in microstrip stacked patch antenna which is widely used to broaden the gain of general microstrip antenna. The proposed structure is composed of two feeding edges of the main patch antenna, each of them are connected to a feeding line having an L shaped inset feeder. And the parasitic patch is placed at a proper distance above the main patch. The size of the main patch is designed so that the resonance frequency is close to the center frequency of the target frequency band. The experimental results show that the bandwidth was increased more than 180MHz in the 2.3-2.7 GHz band, which is more interesting than the single feed, and the gain improvement of 2.5dBi was obtained at 2.7GHz.
