A new miniaturized patch antenna for wireless systems

This paper presents a design procedure of a new miniaturized patch antenna fed by an L-probe, which can be used for mobile handset applications. To examine the performance of this antenna, a prototype was designed, fabricated and measured at 2 GHz. The bandwidth and far-field radiation patterns of the proposed antenna are discussed theoretically and experimentally. The measured cross-polarization and the front-to-back ratio are also examined.
