Summary

In this chapter, techniques for size reduction of the magnetoelectric dipole available in the literature are reviewed. The relative advantages of employing the folded patch technique, dielectric-loaded method, and the metamaterial-loaded approach are compared. Designs with single-input port and differential input ports are also reviewed. Hopefully, possible new techniques will be achieved by readers after reviewing all these interesting designs.
