Abstract

The compact microstrip antenna is realized by placing the shorting post or shorting plate along the zero field line at the fundamental mode of the conventional microstrip antenna. The shorting post or the plate converts the patch from conventional half wavelength resonator to quarter wavelength resonator. The formulation of resonant length at fundamental and higher order modes of the rectangular microstrip antenna is available. However the formulation of resonant length at various modes for the shorted patch is not reported. Also the equation for fringing field extensions length for using the shorted patch on thicker substrates is not available. In this paper, the fundamental and higher order modes of the rectangular and shorted rectangular patch are studied. By studying the voltage and current distributions of the shorted patch the resonance frequency formulation for the shorted patch is proposed. Further by designing the shorted patch on different substrates thickness and at the different frequencies, the formulation for fringing field extension length is proposed. The frequencies calculated using the proposed formulations agrees closely with the simulated and measured results. Thus the proposed formulations can be used to design shorted patch for given frequency and on given substrate thickness.
