In this work, microstrip antenna with W- and V-shaped radiating patches have been proposed. Here square- and circular-shaped modified ground planes have been designed by poly tetra fluoro ethylene (PTFE) substrate with dielectric constant 2.4. Broadband with high gain is obtained by optimum selection of radiating patch with modified ground plane. The ground planes are modified by loading a U-shaped slot. The simulated and measured results are compared. Considering −10 dB impedance bandwidth maximum frequency band of 6.97 GHz (3.04–10.01 GHz) with percentage bandwidth of 106.8% is achieved. The proposed antenna exhibits maximum peak gain of 5.1 dBi. The simulation and measurement have been done by Ansoft designer software and vector network analyzer.

In this work, a broadband high gain frequency selective surface (FSS)-based microstrip patch antenna is proposed. The dimensions of the microstrip antenna and proposed FSS are [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. A broadband high gain reference antenna has been selected to improve antenna performance. The reference antenna offers 1.2[Formula: see text]GHz bandwidth with 6.03[Formula: see text]dBi peak gain. Some modifications have been done on the patch and ground plane to enhance the bandwidth and gain. The impedance bandwidth of 7.70[Formula: see text]GHz (3.42–11.12[Formula: see text]GHz) with 4.9 dBi peak gain is achieved by the microstrip antenna without FSS. The antenna performance is improved by using FSS beneath the antenna structure. The maximum impedance bandwidth of 7.70[Formula: see text]GHz (3.32–11.02[Formula: see text]GHz) and peak gain of 8.6[Formula: see text]dBi are achieved by the proposed antenna with FSS. Maximum co- and cross-polarization differences are 21[Formula: see text]dB. The simulation and measurement have been done using Ansoft Designer software and vector network analyzer. The measured results are in good parity with the simulated one.

This paper presents a simple broadband planar monopole microstrip patch antenna with curved slot and partial ground plane. The proposed antenna is designed and fabricated on commercially available FR4 material with εr = 4.3 and 0.025 loss tangent. Bandwidth enhancement has been achieved by introducing a curved slot in the patch and optimizing the gap between the patch and the partial ground plane and the gap between the curved slot and the edge of the patch. Simulated peak gain of the proposed antenna is 4.8 dB. The impedance bandwidth (defined by 10 dB return loss) of the proposed antenna is 109% (2–6.8 GHz), which shows bandwidth enhancement of 26% as compared with simple monopole antenna. The antenna is useful for 2.4/5.2/5.8-GHz WLAN bands, 2.5/3.5/5.5-GHz WiMAX bands, and other wireless communication services. Measured results show good agreement with the simulated results. The proposed antenna details are described and measured/simulated results are elaborated.

The proposed microstrip antenna is mainly composed of four parts: four circular parasitic metal patches with dual arced breaches, a rectangular metal patch sandwiched between substrates, a square ground plane, and two-square substrates. The circular parasitic elements are the main radiation structure and determine the characteristics of the proposed antenna are closely related to the parasitic elements. The proposed antenna has been fabricated for experimental measurement. The reflection coefficient, radiation pattern, radiation efficiency, and gain have been studied in detail. The simulated and measured impedance bandwidth is 27.0% (3.30–4.33 GHz), the maximum realized peak gain reaches up to 6.52 dBi at the frequency of 3.65 GHz. The radiation pattern has a single peak which is perpendicular to the surface of the substrate. The proposed antenna is suitable to be applied in the 5G mobile or WiMAX wireless communication. Dual antenna with a pair of parasitic elements has been investigated numerically to explain the principle of the proposed antenna.

In this paper dual wideband high gain circular shaped microstrip antenna with modified ground plane is presented for wireless communication systems. The overall dimension of the proposed antenna is 50 x 40 x 1.6 mm3. The radiating element consists of circular shaped patch which is excited by microstrip feed-line printed on FR4 epoxy substrate. The ground plane is on the other side of the substrate having a rectangular ring shape to enhance the peak gain of the antenna. The proposed antenna exhibits two wide fractional bandwidths (based on ? -10 dB) of 61.1% (ranging from 2.0 to 3.8 GHz, centred at 2.88 GHz) and 53.37% (ranging from 5.48 to 9.6 GHz, centred at 7.44 GHz). The measured peak gain achieved is 8.25 dBi at 8.76 GHz. The measured impedance bandwidth and gain suffice all the commercial bands of wireless systems such as 4G LTE band-40, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, WLAN, WiMAX, C-band, and Xband. The measured results are experimentally tested and verified with simulated results. A reasonable agreement is found between them.

This research article gives a detailed insight of the design, simulation of a compact circular shaped microstrip patch antenna that is fed using a coplanar waveguide feed (CPW for practical wireless communication applications). The antenna is typically designed for Ultra wideband (1.46-6GHz), Bluetooth (2.4GHz), ZIGBEE (2.4GHz), WLAN (5.15- 5.35 GHz and 5.725- 5.825), Wi-Fi (2.4-2.485GHz) and HIPERLAN-2(5.15 - 5.35 GHz and 5.470 -5.725GHz) wireless applications with stop band characteristics for the H (partial C band). The proposed antenna has an overall packaged structure dimensions of 78 x75 x1.605 mm3 and is fabricated on FR4 substrate as a circular patch antenna with a coplanar ground .The commercially available laminate FR4 substrate that is used has a dielectric constant of 4.4, height of 1.6mm and a loss tangent of 0.0024.The prospective antenna shows a simulated impedance bandwidth of 4.54 GHz. The coplanar waveguide feeding used with this antenna helps in improving antenna performance in terms of its impedance bandwidth as this geometry helps in creating multiple current loops at the antenna structure, thereby exciting nearby frequencies that merge to show a broadband of operation. The antenna’s operational bandwidth is also improved by the concept of modified ground, in which triangular and rectangular shapes are added symmetrically on both sides of ground plane that provide a better fringing effect and hence an improved bandwidth.

Abstract In this paper, a Tri-band microstrip-line-fed low profile microstrip patch antenna is proposed for future multi-band 5 G wireless communication applications. The proposed antenna is printed on a compact Rogers RT5880 substrate of dimensions 20×16.5×0.508 mm3 with relative permittivity, εr of 2.2 and loss tangent, tan δ of 0.0009. To improve return loss and bandwidth of the proposed antenna, a partial ground plane technique is employed. The proposed antenna operates at 10, 28, and 38 GHz, three of the selected frequencies which are allocated by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) for 5 G mobile communications. To reduce interference between the 5 G system and other systems in the band, a pair of T-shaped slots is etched in the radiating patch to reject unwanted frequency bands. The proposed design provides a gain of 5.67 dB at 10 GHz, 9.33 dB at 28 GHz and 9.57 dB at 38 GHz; the radiation pattern is mostly directional. The proposed antenna is designed and optimized using two commercial 3D full-wave software, viz. CST microwave studio and Ansoft HFSS. A prototype of the designed antenna that was fabricated and showed good agreement between the actual measurements of S11 & VSWR and the simulation results using both software.
