IV. CONCLUSION
This study designed the parasitic antenna
that has a narrow bandwidth. We notice that the
bandwidth is variable by varying the coupling
capacity which is proportional to the dimensions of
the parasitic patch and the distance between the two
patches. In this paper we chose the tool of modelling
using band graph approach to analyze the parasitic
antenna, this tool offers us several advantages as the
possibility to simulate structures of a simple, fast,
efficient and more economic manner. For these
reasons, it is possible to apply this new analysis
method in many wireless systems and microwaves
