Abstract

A shorted patch antenna with inductive loading for size reduction is presented. To improve input matching characteristics, a small inverted L antenna is appended at the shorted side of the patch. The transmission line model of the structure is used for predicting input impedance of the antenna. A design example is carried out for the 2.4 GHz ISM band. Calculated S11 parameter is compared and agrees well with simulation results. A near omnidirectional radiation pattern is obtained with a gain of 1.26 dBi. An area reduction of approximately 80% was obtained respect to the Â¿/2 rectangular patch antenna.
