Abstract :
A novel electrically small compact meander line antenna is reported. The antenna consists of a meander line which acts as a capacitively loaded patch with complementary split ring resonators (CSRRs) cell etched on the ground plane. The antenna has shown significantly size reduction in comparison to a conventional microstrip patch antennas. The antenna was designed to work at 1.73 GHz and fabricated on Roger/RO3010 substrate. The antenna has a very compact size of the patch at 16.4×16.4 mm2, being less than 74% of the size of conventional patch antenna.
