Abstract
A low‐cost microstrip‐line‐fed shorted‐patch antenna suitable for applications in a PCS (1710–1880 MHz band) base station is presented. Both the shorted patch and the 50 Ω microstrip feed line have an air substrate, and the material cost is thus reduced to be minimum. And by using a pair of shorting plates of proper widths for shorting the radiating patch to the antenna's ground, the proposed antenna can be directly fed by the 50 Ω microstrip feed line, which greatly simplifies the antenna's impedance‐matching design. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

## Abstract This paper investigates the characteristics of the modified meander‐line‐type patch antenna for the 5‐GHz band. Its design was based on a modified meander line width and shorting pin with coaxial feeding. Its maximum measured impedance bandwidth (−10 dB and below) reaches approximately
