Summary:In this paper, an improved design of a miniaturized, broadband, meander fork-shaped microstrip antenna (MFSMA) with a radiating patch is proposed. By folding the elongated patch, the bandwidth is widened, while also solving the problem of increased board size and higher manufacturing costs caused by an overly long patch. Adding the asymmetric patch to the ground plane causes the lower edge of the bandwidth to decrease. Utilizing the above characteristics, a miniaturized antenna model was designed. The measurement results of this antenna show acceptable radiation characteristics, with a bandwidth of 1.31 GHz - 3.74 GHz (96.24%) in the condition of VSWR < 2. With its low cost, wide bandwidth, and high gain characteristics, it is well-suited for the LTE/5G applications.
