Abstract :
In this article a technique for miniaturization of cavity-backed slot antennas is presented. The technique is based on the combination of two different miniaturization techniques: distributed inductive loading and modification of the ground plane. Using these techniques, a miniaturized cavity-backed slot antenna is designed that occupies a volume, which is only 18% of an ordinary CBSA operating at the same frequency.
