Abstract :
A new compact microstrip antenna element is analyzed. The analysis can accurately predict the resonant frequency, input impedance, and radiation patterns. The predicted results are compared with experimental results and excellent agreement is observed. These antenna elements are more suitable in applications where limited antenna real estate is available
