Summary: 
In an attempt to enhance the impedance bandwidth and gain, a notched patch antenna is proposed that has a pair of L-strip feeders, and it has been experimentally studied. The enhanced features were confirmed and proved by comparing the proposed antenna with the antennae that have been reported in the relevant literatures. The experimental results showed that the impedance bandwidth (SWR2) of 35.74% and the peak gain of 8.69 dBi (at 2.17 GHz) were obtained by the frequency band under 2.5 GHz. Designed originally for PCS and IMT-2000 service band, the proposed antenna, with its simple structure, may easily be mass-produced and may have various commercial applications.
