Abstract
In this article, a half-cut rectangular dense dielectric patch (DDP) with one grounded side plane is theoretically investigated for designing a compact low-profile antenna. According to the properties and the E-field distribution of the dominant TM101 mode, the half-wavelength (λ/2) DDP can be bisected by effectively shorting the center plane to the ground, resulting in a miniaturized half-cut λ/4 DDP. The size of the DDP is effectively reduced by 50% while maintaining the original resonant frequency of the dominant TM101 mode. The half-cut λ/4 DDP can be well excited through aperture coupling for antenna design. The design procedure of the proposed antenna is given in detail. For demonstration, an antenna prototype centered at 4.15 GHz is implemented and measured. The simulated and measured results are given, showing good agreement.
