The antennas for mobile communication handsets have become smaller in shape, which has degraded their electrical performance significantly. To obtain a small but high-performance handset, it is important to increase the antenna efficiency. The important parameter for such a purpose is the radiation

Abstract
There have recently been extensive studies of smallβsize microstrip antennas. Some of these small antennas maintain gains of 5β6 dBi, whereas others have gains of 0β1.5 dBi. One important antenna parameter is the radiation efficiency. There have been very few studies on this parameter for small microstrip antennas. This letter presents measurements of several of these structures introduced earlier, with the use of the Wheeler cap method. The highest efficiency measured was about 96%.

A rigorous analysis of printed circuits and antennas requires a great computational e!ort, due to the necessity of an accurate modelling of large metallic structures, including radiating patches and feeding lines. The computational e!ort increases if we have to deal with radiation phenomena in larg
