Abstract

A chip monopole antenna with a parasitic patch is proposed for GPS applications. To reduce the dimensions of the antenna, the chip monopole antenna is composed of stacked meander, helix structures, and a parasitic patch. The impedance and radiation characteristics of the antenna are investigated. The measured results show that the proposed antenna, having compact dimensions of 3.6 Ã— 5 Ã— 1.3 mm, has a bandwidth of 60 MHz (1.53-1.59 GHz) and a maximum radiation gain of 0.53 dBi.
