Abstract: This paper presents the study of the effects of shorting posts for C-shaped and H-shaped microstrip patch antennas for GPS application. A C-shaped patch and H-shaped patch loadedmicrostrip patch antenna for GPS frequency (1.575 GHz) are designed and simulated. The shorted microstrip patch antenna is a compact antenna but it suffers from the disadvantage that more number of shorting pins is required thereby making fabrication process harder especially when manufactured in larger quantities. An alternate way to reduce the resonance frequency of the microstrip antenna is to increase the path length of the surface by cutting slots in the radiating patch. The slot is taken as the capacitive reactance in the patch.
