A small short-circuited H-shaped GaAs monolithic microwave integrated circuits (MMICs) patch antenna is presented. Resonant at 5.98 GHz, it is the lowest frequency MMIC patch antenna reported that we are aware of and is intended for short-range communications (e.g., vehicular). Initial experimental and theoretical characterization of the proposed structure has been carried out on soft microstrip substrates. It has been shown that the size of an H-shaped patch antenna can be reduced to as low as one tenth of that of a half wavelength patch antenna resonant at the same frequency, saving valuable substrate space. The resonance frequency, radiation patterns and gain have been investigated. Ground plane truncation effects, which are important for MMIC applications, have been examined using the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method
