Abstract
A circular microstrip antenna has been modified by shorting along the zero field to yield shorted semi-circular and 90 degrees sectoral micr ostrip antennas. Experimental results on these antennas are presented. The shorted 90 degrees sectoral antenna results in a size reduction o f four times without any significant change in performance. The area i s further reduced by partially shorting one of the edges of the 90 deg rees sectoral antenna.
