摘要

The design of a miniaturized low-profile monopole patch antenna is investigated. The printed configuration consists of a shorted center-fed circular patch and a shorted concentric parasitic annular ring. Compared with the center-fed circular patch antennas, this ensemble is a lower profile of 0.08 lambda(0) (at 2.442 GHz) and a smaller annular ring radius of 0.13 lambda(0) with 13.7% impedance bandwidth VSWR <= 2. Also, it has an average gain 3.5 dBi and omnidirectional radiation and is suitable for indoor wireless local area networks. The measured results are in good agreement with the simulated ones.
