  • Abstract
    An impedance-agile microstrip patch antenna loaded with a shorting pin is proposed in this paper. A metallic pin is introduced to short the patch with the ground at a certain location. Thus, electric field beneath the path is perturbed to influence the input impedance. By properly choosing the pin location, the input impedance of the microstrip patch antenna can be adjusted in a wide range without changing patch shape or adding an impedance matching branch.
