Wideband Compact MSA using Finite Ground

Abstract

This work proposes a compact microstrip patch antenna for broad band operation utilizing limited ground. By cutting corners and creating slits within the radiating patch's borders, a modified square-shaped microstrip patch antenna with a finite ground plane may attain wideband. 37.47% (1630 MHz) of the center frequency at 4.35 GHz is the obtained impedance bandwidth for a 10 dB return loss. This antenna's small size and broad bandwidth make it useful for wireless communication systems.
