Abstract

As stated in Chapter 1, one of the many advantages of microstrip patch technology over its competitors is its low profile and hence small volume. Another key advantage of this printed antenna is the relative ease in which it can be connected to the feed network, as was highlighted in Chapter 2. For these reasons antenna design engineers deduced that microstrip patch antennas could be utilized for applications requiring where there was very limited space to mount the antenna. One such global application is for wireless communication handset terminals.
