Abstract
This article presents a dual‐band circular N‐shaped microstrip patch antenna loaded by a shorting pin and lumped R‐C circuit, hence a resonant R‐L‐C circuit is introduced. Loading by shorting pin excites the zero fundamental mode of the circular patch antenna (TM~010~), and it shifts the first fundamental mode (TM~110~) to higher one. N‐shaped microstrip patch antenna is used as a modified circular microstrip patch antenna with reduced size. The proposed antenna is designed and fabricated on two‐layered substrate. A comprehensive parametric study has been carried out on values of R and C to optimize the antenna performance. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
