In this article, a new design for single‐layer rectangular microstrip patch antenna has been proposed.This design uses a ground plane with a single slot. It has been shown that by using this slotted ground plane, the resonant frequency has been lowered considerably, thus, reducing the size of the antenna. Using this design, the size of the antenna is reduced by about 90%. It has been also shown that the resonant frequency can be reduced further by increasing the length of the slot. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
