Patch Antenna Size-Reduction Parametric Study
Keywords:
Antenna size reduction, patch antenna slits, slotted UHF antennaAbstract
Size-reduction techniques are applied to a circular UHF patch antenna, by varying parameters to better predict its desired resonant frequency. Specifically, slits are introduced into the patch, which are parametrically varied to determine the optimum slit dimensions for maximum size reduction. Further studies determine the optimum location for the probe feed, to achieve 50omega input impedance for different slit lengths.
