In this study, a compact printed meander antenna with enhanced peak gain for 2.4‐GHz applications was investigated. Inductive feed and capacitive load techniques were used in the meander antenna's design to optimize peak gain performance. A measured maximum peak gain of 4.49 dBi, input reflection coefficient of −15 dB, and fractional bandwidth of 7.23% were achieved using a 1.6‐mm‐thick FR4 substrate. The low‐profile antenna occupied an area of 26 × 15.6 mm 2 . The proposed antenna can be implemented in standard printed circuit board processes without any lumped elements or via holes, and it introduces very little fabrication complexity.
