Abstract
Asmallquarterwavepatchantennawiththeimpedancebandwidthof35%wasconstructedforthefrequencyofabout2GHz.Theantennahasaprobefeedwithanintegratedcapacitortocompensatefortheprobeinductanceandproduceadual-resonantstructure.Theradiationpatternoftheproposedantennaisfairlyomnidirectionalandthepolarizationseparationislow,soitissuitableforcertainapplicationsinmobilecommunications.
