Low Cost Meander Line Chip Monopole Antenna

A method for miniaturizing a chip antenna is presented in this communication. It uses a folded meander line and therefore the length is half. Also, two upper and lower loading patches are used to improve the performance of the chip antenna. The chip antenna has been miniaturized to 3.2 × 1.6 × 0.83...

Zusammenfassung:	A method for miniaturizing a chip antenna is presented in this communication. It uses a folded meander line and therefore the length is half. Also, two upper and lower loading patches are used to improve the performance of the chip antenna. The chip antenna has been miniaturized to 3.2 × 1.6 × 0.83 mm 3 at resonance measured frequencies of 2.45 GHz and 2.73 GHz with and without external matching, respectively. An economic fabrication method for the chip antenna is discussed. It uses an inexpensive multilayer PCB with two low-cost prepregs and a common laminate. Only two plated-through holes are needed for the whole design. Good agreement between the simulated and measured results is observed.
