Abstract

A novel single feed miniaturized cross patch antenna radiating at three resonant frequencies is presented. Compared to standard rectangular patches, the proposed antenna gives an area reduction of 82%, 74% and 53% for the linearly polarized radiations with center frequencies at 1.2395 GHz, 1.515 GHz, and 2.027 GHz respectively. The antenna exhibits nearly omnidirectional radiation characteristics at all the operating frequencies with good cross polarization level and moderate gain.
