This thesis presents the design and development of several novel small and wideband patch antennas. Microstrip antennas have the attractive features of low profile and light weight. However the antennas may be too large for practical applications at the lower microwave frequency range and may offer only a few percent of bandwidth. Several techniques have been proposed to reduce the size of the conventional half-wave patch, such as using high dielectric constant materials, using a shorting wall or shorting pin. Based on these techniques, several novel designs are presented here…
