Abstract
In this paper, a novel wideband zero-mode circular patch antenna is presented. It is shown that by using shorting pins whose position is optimized, not only the concentric conducting post can be removed, but also the matching bandwidth is enhanced, doubling the typical result for the conventional antenna case. Measurements of bandwidth, efficiency and radiation patterns of a manufactured prototype are reported in order to validate the proposal.
