Abstract :
In this paper we describe a novel microstrip patch antenna with circular polarization based on the substrate of high contrast dielectrics. Engineering design targeted miniaturization and desired electric characteristics, mitigation of surface wave leakage, recovering of fringing fields and ease of fabrication.
