Abstract Space-fed array comprising of E-shape or U-slot cut rectangular microstrip antennas using the modified feed designs are proposed for higher gain and wider bandwidth. Modified feed optimally illuminates the edge space-fed elements to achieve a maximum gain. Amongst the two space-fed array variations. 7 x 7 E-shape space-fed array. https://tkryubi4e5e8l.celticwiki.com/1456115/youth_empowerment_and_entrepreneurship_in_nigeria_implication_for_economic_diversification
