Abstract :
Properties of a circular patch antenna with radiation characteristics similar to those of a resonant monopole are presented. The TM01 mode excited patch on a small ground plane radiates a null on boresight and is easy to match to a 50 Ω line. Applications include mobile vehicle applications and wireless LANs
