Abstract :
To meet the miniaturization of portable communication equipment, researchers have given much attention recently to compact microstrip antennas. This paper presents design of a patch antenna, suitably slotted, shorted and meandered in order to improve radiation pattern. Bandwidth enhancement has been achieved by appropriately incorporating slots on the rectangular patch, and efficiently exciting the slot by short circuiting the conducting patch through the dielectric substrate beyond the edge of the slot. The antenna structure is described and simulation results are presented.
