摘要
A method for miniaturization of microstrip patch antenna without degrading its radiation characteristics is investigated, It involves perforating the patch to form a microstrip square-ring antenna, which is investigated numerically and experimentally, The ring geometry introduces additional parameters to the antenna that can be used to control its impedance, resonance frequency, and bandwidth. For a single square ring increasing the size of perforation increases its input impedance, but decreases the resonance frequency and bandwidth. It has a small effect on directivity of the antenna. To match the antenna to a transmission line and also enhance its bandwidth, the ring is stacked by a square patch or another square ring. The computed results are compared with experimental data and again good agreement is obtained.
