In this paper, an X-shaped fractal antenna with defected ground structure (DGS) is presented for multiband and wideband applications. The X shape is used due to its simple design and DGS is utilized to achieve size reduction with multiband and wideband features in the frequency range of 1–7 GHz. The proposed structure is fabricated on FR4 substrate with 1.6 mm thickness. We have proposed two different antennas both are having X-shaped fractal patch with a slotted ground plane to have more impedance bandwidth and better return loss. Various parameters like scale factor, width of ground plane, number of slots with their dimensions and feed line length are optimized to have size reduction and for enhancing the performance of antenna. Reflection coefficient shows the multiband and wideband features of proposed antenna. One of the proposed antennas covers various applications like IEEE802.11y at 3.65 and 4.9 GHz, IEEE 802.11a at 5.4 GHz, 802.11P at 5.9 GHz. Other antenna covers applications like IEEE802.16 at 3.5 GHz; 5 cm band for amateur radio and satellite and future 5 G communication systems over 6 GHz. The antenna designing was done using CST software and simulation results were compared with experimental results (using E5071C network analyzer).

A novel design of a Frequency Reconfigurable patch antenna which has applications in the L- Band, namely, radars, GPS, telecommunication system and aircraft surveillance is presented in this paper. The antenna having dimensions of 34.45mm x 45.64mm has been designed using Ansys HFSS. It is a microstrip line inset fed patch antenna with square concentric rings as Defected Ground Structure (DGS) and FR-4 as the substrate. Two PIN diodes, BAR 63-02V, have been used on the ground plane to carry out switching in the frequency domain. The simulated results depict the frequency shift from 1.612 MHz to 1.815 MHz for different combinations of PIN diodes while keeping the radiation patterns intact. The simulated S11 values are well below the – 10dB value in all the four combinations. The average impedance bandwidth obtained is 400 MHz. The measured results on the fabricated antenna using Vector Network Analyzer are in close approximation to the simulated results.

This paper presented the design and implementation of a 60 GHz single element monopole antenna as well as a two-element array made of two 60 GHz monopole antennas. The proposed antenna array was used for 5G applications with radiation characteristics that conformed to the requirements of wireless communication systems. The proposed single element was designed and optimized to work at 60 GHz with a bandwidth of 6.6 GHz (57.2–63.8 GHz) and a maximum gain of 11.6 dB. The design was optimized by double T-shaped structures that were added in the rectangular slots, as well as two external stubs in order to achieve a highly directed radiation pattern. Moreover, ring and circular slots were made in the partial ground plane at an optimized distance as a defected ground structure (DGS) to improve the impedance bandwidth in the desired band. The two-element array was fed by a feed network, thus improving both the impedance bandwidth and gain. The single element and array were fabricated, and the measured and simulated results mimicked each other in both return loss and antenna gain.

Producing a suitable impedance matching between the radiating element and the feedline is the prior hurdle to overcome for a wideband antenna with circular polarisation designs. This study presents a novel antenna consisting of a defected ground structure (DGS) and a crescent-slot radiating patch for broad impedance bandwidth. In addition, a narrow rectangular slot was etched on the ground plane for antenna compactness and outcomes improvement. In order to examine the reliability, two different numerical softwares were compared based on the antenna’s basic structure. Apart from this, an equivalent circuit of the proposed prototype is modelled logically using ADS 2016. The numerical results demonstrate that the impedance bandwidth was about 74.6% for < −10 dB, while the 3 dB axial ratio bandwidth greater than 53% was achieved. In the operational bandwidth of the design, good impedance matching and high efficiency were seen, which shows that this design is appropriate for modern wireless communication systems in ISM and GSM bands.

In this paper, a compact microstrip patch has a slot associated with the Defected Ground Structure radiator is presented. Instead of semi-infinite ground plane, the proposed antenna adopts the defected ground plane. The Radiating patch mendacity on the FR-4 substrate which is having dielectric constant of 4.4, thereby provides good bandwidth. This microstrip antenna is designed for wide bandwidth applications in range of 5.5GHz to 7.25GHz. Proposed work introduces a methodology wherein reducing of structure’s increase the bandwidth as well as return loss with defected ground structure (DGS).However since communication systems require small size, broad band and multiband antennas, monopoles have to be ensued for fabricating broad-band and wide-band antennas. In the proposed work investigations are carried out to design a new antenna with broad-band properties. Simulations are carried out via An soft HFSS electromagnetic simulator software- fabricated on FR-4 Substrate and tested with Vector network Analyzer. Measurement and Simulation results obtained prove the applicability of proposed antenna in 5.5GHz to 7.25GHz frequency range with a return loss of -31.3dB and 11.5dB etc. Microstrip feed line technique is used to feed the antenna with 50Ω impedance.
