Abstract: A compact quasi-isotropic shorted patch antenna and method of fabricating the same are disclosed. The patch antenna uses a small ground plane which has same dimensions with the radiating patch, therefore the radiation caused by the currents on the radiating patch is cancelled out by that comes from the opposite currents on the ground plane. Quasi-TEM mode is excited in the radiating patch cavity, generating surface magnetic currents on the open-ended slot and electric currents on the shorted side-wall. The corresponding currents are found not only perpendicular but also quadrature with each other, and therefore the patch antenna can provide a quasi-isotropic radiation pattern without involving complex feeding circuit.
