Abstract :
A compact patch antenna suitable for mounting above a conducting plate for WLAN operation in the 2.4 GHz band is presented. It is demonstrated that, by introducing a supporting metal plate connected to the antenna ground below, the proposed antenna in free space can easily be mounted at the corner of a conducting plate of various dimensions without rapidly deteriorating the antenna bandwidth. With a compact size of 20times20times6 mm, the antenna can be placed very close to a conducting plate of side length varied from 20 to 200 mm for application in a PC peripheral device
