Design and analysis of compact triangular microstrip antennas integrated with novel defective ground structure

In this paper triangular microstrip antenna with a novel defective ground structure are proposed. Without the defective ground structure (DGS) the structures are found to be resonant at 5.2 GHz. When the DGS are introduced a frequency shift of 5.2 GHz to 1.8 GHz is observed. The main essence of this paper is the miniaturization of the antenna.
