Their widesurfaces are not compatible with integration constraints in urban areas. As the antenna is composed ofa high number of radiating elements, reduce the surface of each element is a way to reduce the antennasurface. Compact radiating element would allow several antennas integration on the initial surface. Inthis paper, a new compact antenna is designed in order to obtain up to four antennas at the place ofone. The antenna gain and horizontal Half Power Beamwidth (HPBW) should be maintained. The sizereduction is obtained by dielectric embedding. In order to determine the dielectric characteristics inwhich the antenna must be immersed, a theoretical model is proposed in this paper. Simulations andmeasurements are provided to show the evolution of the antenna's performances in order to achievemanufacturer's specifications. %G English %L hal-01340566 %U https://hal.science/hal-01340566 %~ UNIV-NANTES %~ UNIV-RENNES1 %~ CNRS %~ INSA-RENNES %~ IETR %~ IETR_SRC %~ CENTRALESUPELEC %~ UR1-HAL %~ UR1-MATH-STIC %~ UR1-UFR-ISTIC %~ IETR-BEAMS %~ IETR-CUTE %~ IETR-ADH %~ TEST-UNIV-RENNES %~ TEST-UR-CSS %~ UNIV-RENNES %~ INSA-GROUPE %~ UR1-MATH-NUM %~ IETR-STAR %~ NANTES-UNIVERSITE %~ UNIV-NANTES-AV2022 %~ IETR-NANTES
