Analysis of a single shorted rectangular microstrip antenna for 50Ωmicrostrip line feed

In this paper, analysis of a lower order and dominant mode of a rectangular microstrip antenna with a loading of the single shorting post has been presented. Microstrip line feed of 50 Ω impedance along one of the radiating edges with a single shorting post has been proposed for impedance matching. A detailed investigation of the rectangular microstrip antenna with and without single shorting pin has been presented and experimentally validated with good agreement.
