Abstract In this article, a new miniaturization technique for a circular wire patch antenna is presented. This technique consists in adding cylindrical skirts to the two metallic circular plates. A parametric study carried out for this new design shows that this new shape gives one more degree of freedom to control the resonance frequency and allows us to optimize the matching of this smaller radiating element in the desired operation band. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
