Abstract :
A compact circular microstrip antenna is presented. The proposed radiating structure consists of a truncated circular patch loaded with asymmetric slits. A 32% compactness is achieved when compared with conventional circular microstrip antenna. The variation in resonant frequency with the slit dimensions is also investigated and observed that the antenna characteristics are highly dependent on slit dimensions. The resonant frequency can be altered by simply varying the slit dimensions. The proposed antenna may be a good candidate for indoor wireless local area network applications.
