A new design of a reduced‐size triangular microstrip antenna fed using an inset microstrip line is presented. The antenna size reduction is achieved by loading a chip resistor at the triangle tip of the patch. With an increasing resistance of the loaded chip resistor, the antenna bandwidth is significantly increased, and furthermore, the required inset length of the 50 Ω microstrip line for impedance matching becomes smaller, which makes the present design more easily implemented. Details of the experimental results are presented and discussed. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Microwave Opt Technol Lett 17: 169–170, 1998.
