Abstract :
A novel reduced-size microstrip rectangular patch antenna for Bluetooth operation is presented. The proposed antenna operates in the 2400-2484 MHz ISM band. Although an air substrate is introduced, the antenna occupies a small volume of 33.3×6.6×0.8 mm. The gain and the impedance bandwidth of the antenna are predicted using a commercial finite-element method software package. The predicted results show good agreement with measured data.
