In this paper, the characteristics of linealy bent wire antennas are first analyzed for shortening straight wire antennas. The results are appropriately applied to the design of the integrated zigzag dipole antenna. Since the integration give rise to discontinuities due to line width, the integrated parasitics are properly attached to both sides of substrate for improving the antenna gain and return loss. The design results are verified with experiments.
