Dual Polarized Microstrip Patch Antenna, Reduced in Size by Use of Peripheral Slits
A two-port, meandered, square, microstrip patch antenna is investigated in this paper. Forty slits are
considered on the perimeter of a square patch, ten on each side, to reduce the operating frequency. Calculated and
measured results manifest that (a) the gain, the radiation patterns (co- and cross-polar), and the matching microstrip
lines are practically unaffected by the peripheral slits, (b) the return loss at both ports is well below -20dB, and (c)
the coupling between ports is below -29dB. A square patch, thus meandered, may be up to 48% smaller in area
than a square patch without slits, both with the same operating frequency.
