Abstract :
In this paper, a shorted and truncated microstrip antenna suitable for mobile communications systems is presented. Full-wave analysis is performed using the finite-difference time-domain method. It has been found that the shorted and truncated microstrip antennas exhibit a very narrow band resonance around 850 MHz when the dimensions of the antenna are chosen properly.
