A novel miniature wideband microstrip antenna is presented. The proposed miniature design is achieved by exploiting the idea of a quasi‐radiator. Here, a part of the radiator is connected to the ground plane through a shorting pin or via. The proposed antenna achieves a starting frequency of 1.8 GHz with a small antenna area of 20 mm 2 . An electrical size of 0.05 λ is realised leading to a miniaturised design. The proposed antenna is broadband, compact, and produces stable radiation patterns.
