Abstract :
In this paper we propose a compact coplanar antenna (CCPA) configuration with excellent radiation coverage, good reflection characteristics and comparatively good bandwidth. The antenna offers 75% area reduction compared to a standard rectangular patch for the same frequency. It can be easily incorporated in any compact wireless gadget. Antenna design and experimental results are discussed.
