Low-profile antennas

Abstract

This chapter provides a broad discussion on the progress in low-profile antenna design and their applications. The antennas are divided broadly into dipole-based antenna designs, slot antennas, loop antennas, and microstrip patch antennas. In addition to the basic concepts, a literature review that outlines state-of-the-art designs along with recent trends in this field is incorporated. The objective of these discussions is to enrich the readers with conceptual knowledge in this marvelous field of engineering.
