Abstract
This paper presents an experimental investigation into the performance of a compact microstrip patch antenna loaded with shorting pins and employing microstripline feeding. A considerable reduction in the size of the patch is achieved in comparison with the conventional patch resonant at the same frequency. Measurements of gain and radiation patterns are also presented.
