- Abstract
A novel design of a compact microstrip patch antenna using meandering technique is proposed in this paper where the designed antenna seems to behave as a microstrip patch loaded with conducting strips. A rectangular microstrip patch antenna with addition of conducting strip radiates at much lower frequency than a conventional rectangular microstrip antenna, due to increase of resonant length, but it also causes the increase in total size of the antenna. In this article, the resonant frequency has been lowered significantly by loading a regular rectangular microstrip patch antenna with rectangular slot in a proper position in such a way that the whole structure looks like a strip loaded radiator. About 86.5% size reduction has been achieved experimentally with very good agreement of simulated and measured results. The equivalent circuit and approximate resonant frequency calculation have been discussed in this paper.
