AB  - © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. A U-slot loaded single-layer compact shorted-patch antenna is presented for wireless communications in the 5.8 GHz band. The size of the prototyped antenna is only 30 mm × 30 mm, which is very small compared to single-layer antennas for the same frequency band. The measured ?10 dB reflection coefficient bandwidth of the antenna is 140 MHz (5.67?5.81 GHz). The peak measured boresight gain and directivity of the antenna are 7.4 and 8 dBi, respectively, and their variation within the band is less than 1 dB. The measured 3-dB beamwidths of the antenna at 5.8 GHz are 79° and 69° in the E-plane and H-plane, respectively. An easy way to shift the antenna resonance frequency is also investigated.
