Abstract
The present letter concerns the reduction of the size of a patch antenna by combining two techniques. Inserting slots as inductive loading and making some short points in the middle of a patch excited originally in the TM001 mode permits its to obtain an overall reduction of 75%. This enables the de velopment of antennas for several applications, especially in portable comm unication systems requiring small footprint devices. (C) 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
