Abstract :
A novel ground plane with a meander line is proposed for the design of a compact slot antenna. By using this new design, size reduction for the slot antenna can be realised. By embedding a meander line into the ground plane of the slot, it is observed that the resonant frequency of the slot antenna significantly decreases, which can lead to a large size reduction for fixed-frequency operation. In this case, the measured bandwidth of the proposed antenna is comparable with that of the reference antenna.
