This article presents the design and performance of a wideband folded shorted patch antenna. The proposed antenna consists of a folded trapezoidal patch that is shorted to the ground plane and is fed by a coaxial probe. By offsetting the probe feeding position from the midline of the patch, wide impedance bandwidth of 56.1% (1.59–2.83 GHz) is obtained for SWR < 2, which is nearly two times that of the antenna without offsetting the probe. The patch of this antenna is 0.071λ 0 in height and 0.35λ 0 in length, where λ 0 is the free space wavelength at the center frequency of its operating bandwidth. Therefore, this antenna is suitable for the multiband indoor wireless communication systems nowadays. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
