β¦ Synopsis
An electrically small microstrip meander antenna incorporating the folded technology is fabricated and experimental results are presented in this paper. This antenna has the ad¨antages of compact size, ease of manufacturing, broad bandwidth, and multiband characteristics. Different-feed and different-length antennas are tested. Techniques to reduce the antenna size are presented, and performance trends are established. The measured results show that the ¨ariation of the return loss can be easily tuned by changing the feeding points and the microstrip-line length. The maximum measured bandwidth is approxi-( ) mately 770 MHz 12.6% operational bandwidth around 6.115 GHz when the middle feeding point is chosen.

By using a shorting pin and meandering the circular patch, a compact circular microstrip antenna with a patch size of less than 10% of the con¨entional circular patch antenna can be easily obtained. The design of such compact circular microstrip antennas is described, and experimental results are pr
theoretical analysis.
