Abstract. Thorough survey of open literature shows that the in recent years, the major fraction of research on microstrip and printed antennas is devoted to developing new design to improve antenna bandwidth along with other figures of merit. The recent trends are also some what different from those of last two decades. Some developments in allied branches like, MIC's and printed circuits, are now being investigated to antenna applications and those are discussed in a brief and comprehensive fashion in the limited scope of this article.

PROJEKTOVANJE ŠIROKOPOJASNIH MIKROSTRIP ANTENA: SAVREMENI TREND I RAZVOJ
Detaljan uvid u savremenu literaturu ukazuje na znatne napore da se ostvare što bolje širokopojasne karakteristike mikrostrip i štampanih antena, a da pri tome ostale performanse antena ostanu sačuvane. Savremeni pristupi za rešavanje ovog problema se razlikuju od onih koji su korišćeni u poslednje dve decenije. Odredjeni novi pristupi zasnovani na zajedničkoj primeni MIC i štampanih kola biće prikazani u radu, uz diskusiju i poredjenje dobijenih sa postojećim rezultatima.
