Abstract :
In this paper, an electrically compact low cost ridged patch antenna with moderate gain is presented. By introducing ridges into the patch, the horizontal size of the patch is reduced. A flared ground plane is employed to reduce the back radiation. Possible applications of this antenna include RFID technologies where compact low cost moderate gain antennas are highly desirable.
