Abstract

In this work, easy to fabricate edge-fed, single-substrate, slotted, square-patch antennas were designed, fabricated, and measured. Effects of slots on patch antenna, such as the size reduction effect and the multi-resonance effect, are demonstrated by examples. Measurements show that up to four additional resonant frequencies below the original patch antenna’s TM020 frequency are obtainable and that the size of the antenna can be reduced to less than approximately 40% its original size. The size reduction property of the proposed antenna may be suitable for miniaturized planar and conformal antennas that are needed for personal communication devices, and the multifrequency property of the proposed antenna has the advantage of serving multiple frequencies with one antenna.
