This study proposes a mathematical model and a technique for the electrodynamic analysis of a microstrip antenna with a chiral substrate based on the left-handed spirals. It describes the design of such an antenna and presents its impedance characteristics for various parameters. It has been shown that the use of a chiral substrate improves the mass-dimensional characteristics of the microstrip antennas.
