Abstract

A defected microstrip structure (DMS) is proposed to reducing the size of a rectangular patch antenna by increasing its electric length, without degrading its performance. To illustrate thin advantage, one conventional and one proposed defected patch antenna were developed and measured at 1.77 GHz. The simulated and measured results concerning the radiation patterns and bandwidth of both antennas are very closely related, but the proposed defected antenna achieves 22% of total-area reduction.
