Abstract

This paper presents a design, simulation, implementation and measurement of a novel microstrip meander patch antenna for the application of sensor networks. The dimension of the microstrip chip antenna is 15 mm times 15 mm times 2 mm. The meander-type radiating patch is constructed on the upper layer of the 2 mm height substrate with 0.0 5 mm height metallic conduct lines. Because of using the very high relative permittivity substrate ( epsiv_r=90), the proposed antenna achieves 315 MHz band operations.
