Microstrip patch antennas were first proposed in the early 1970s and since then a plethora
of activity in this area of antenna engineering has occurred, probably more than in any other …

Electrically small microstrip patches incorporating shorting posts are thoroughly
investigated. These antennas are suitable for mobile communications handsets where …

A new design methodology for producing highly miniaturized patch antennas is introduced.
The methodology uses complementary split-ring resonators placed horizontally between the …

Microstrip patch antennas are widely employed in several applications, thanks to their low
profile, low cost, and easy manufacturing. However, the demand for new technologies …

This paper presents a new design of a broad-band dual-polarized single microstrip patch
antenna with highly decoupled input ports and low cross-polarization (XP) radiation. A …

A miniature aperture-coupled microstrip antenna of very high permittivity designed at 1.66
GHz is described. Superstrates of appropriate thickness are added on the substrate for gain …

The main objective of this work is to propose an approach for improving the performance of
miniaturized microstrip patch antennas (MPAs) that are loaded with a thin film consisting of a …

Patch antennas with loading of a pair of shorting pins are proposed in this paper toward
flexible impedance matching and low cross polarization. The shorting pins are introduced in …

An analytical theory for the eigenfrequencies and eigenmodes of shorting-post microstrip
antennas (MPA's) is presented. These antennas are seen as promising candidates for …

A new technique to reduce the overall dimension of a microstrip antenna using a partially
filled high-permittivity substrate is proposed. The miniaturized microstrip antenna for a …
