ABSTRACT
A printed antenna is composed of a metallization of an accurate geometrical form, placed on one side of a dielectric substrate whilst the other side is metallized. The basic antenna consists of a partial metallization of a simple shape for the radiating element and a full metallization for the inferior part of the substrate. at this time, structures with more elaborated patterns. This metallization determines all the specificities of the antenna i.e. its performances and type of operation.

INTRODUCTION
In this dossier, we set out the basic principles involved in designing printed antennas. In particular, we describe the most common technologies, operating principles, geometries and feeding techniques. Analytical and numerical modeling are used to design these antennas.
In a second folder , we describe how to improve the radio characteristics of an element, miniaturization and the main applications of these radiating elements.
