Abstract

A compact patch antenna, suitable for low frequency use where size is important and dielectric loading is impractical because of weight restrictions, is presented. A double tuned design is used to optimize the bandwidth. The work is presented in three sections; the basic double tuned patch theory and design, a comparison of the compact patch size and bandwidth relative to that of the basic patch, and a computer analysis of a compact patch which is one half the length of a standard patch. The computed results are for a single patch over a ground plane, a linear array of patches, and a dual frequency linear array where half size patches are placed upon the linear array of full size patches.
