  • Abstract
    A miniaturized microstrip patch antenna (MPA) design is analyzed using the theory of characteristic modes. The miniaturization is achieved by using an annular slot in the ground plane of the MPA. The theory of characteristic modes is applied to understand the resonant behavior of the antenna and to find the optimal location for the excitation of the antenna. Using this method, a 46% miniaturization in the size of MPA is achieved.
