<p>This paper presents Dual-Band proximity coupled feed rectangular Microstrip patch antenna with slots on the radiating patch and Defected Ground Structure. Initially a simple proximity coupled feed rectangular Microstrip patch antenna resonating at 2.4 GHz is designed. Etching out a ‘Dumbbell’ shaped defect from the ground plane and ‘T’ shaped slot from the radiating patch of the proximity coupled feed rectangular Microstrip patch antenna, results in a Dual-Band operation, i.e., resonating at 2.4 GHz and 4.5 GHz; with 30.3 % and 18.8% reduction in the overall area of the patch and the ground plane of the reference antenna respectively. The proposed antenna resonates in S-band at frequency of 2.4 GHz with bandwidth of 123.6 MHz and C-band at frequency of 4.5 GHz with bandwidth of 200 MHz, and a very good return loss of -22.1818 dB and -19.0839 dB at resonant frequency of 2.4 GHz and 4.5 GHz respectively is obtained. The proposed antenna is useful for different wireless applications in the S-band and C-band.</p>

The microstrip antenna required for higher frequency application is to be light in weight, easy to fabricate and small in size. As the applications in S-band and Ku-band are increasing with the increase in technology the requirement for higher data rate so the proposed work is to design a 24GHz (ka band) rectangular microstrip antenna with stripline feeding, return loss to be less than -20dB and VSWR less than 0.5. The substrate is chosen to be RT/duroid 5880 with relative permeability 2.2. it is capable of covering satellite application, telemetry. HFSS software tool is used to design the antenna.

<p>This paper presents the bandwidth enhancement of a Proximity Coupled Feed Rectangular Microstrip Patch Antenna using a new Defected Ground Structure - an ‘inverted SHA’ shaped slot on the ground plane of the proximity coupled feed rectangular Microstrip patch antenna. The parameters such as Bandwidth, Return loss, VSWR and Radiation efficiency are improved in the proposed antenna than simple proximity coupled feed rectangular Microstrip patch antenna without Defected Ground Structure. A comparison is also shown for the proposed Microstrip patch antenna with the antenna structure without Defected Ground Structure. The proposed antenna resonates in S-band at frequency of 2.4 GHz with bandwidth of 180 MHz. A very good return loss of -47.9223 dB is obtained for the Microstrip patch antenna with an ’inverted SHA’ shaped Defected Ground Structure. Implementing an ‘inverted SHA’ shaped defect in the ground plane of the proximity coupled feed rectangular Microstrip patch antenna results in 5.3% improvement in bandwidth with 16.01% reduction in the overall area of the ground plane as compared to the Microstrip patch antenna without Defected Ground Structure.</p>


Microstrip antennas find wide applications in high-speed vehicles, and missiles, tanks, satellite communications, mobile communications and wireless communications etc. The main advantage of these antennas over conventional microwave antenna is light weight, low volume, low cost, planar structure and compatibility with integrated circuits. The present paper deals with the design and simulation of an inset feed rectangular microstrip patch antenna using different dielectric substrate materials such as Arlon AD320, FR4 (Epoxy glass) and Vaccum (Air) and having dielectric constant ( )= 3.2, 4.4 and 1.0 respectively and also comparing their performance characteristics. The resonant frequency of the proposed antenna is designed at frequency of 1.9 GHz, which is lying in the L-band region. The antenna software such as High Frequency Structure Simulator is used for designing of proposed antenna. The simulation results shows the maximum bandwidth is 40MHz and minimum gain is 2dB is obtained using FR4 (Epoxy-glass) substrate whose dielectric constant ( ) = 4.4, at which return loss is -35.67dB. Maximum gain is 9.72dB and bandwidth is 39MHz obtained using Vaccum (Air), whose dielectric constant ( ) = 1.0. However, 6 dB gain and 25MHz bandwidth is obtained using Arlon AD 320A substrate, whose dielectric constant ( ) = 2.2 at which return loss is obtained -24.57dB. The proposed antenna can be used for military telemetry, GPS, mobile phone (GSM) and amateur radio applications.


This paper presents the design and simulation of a rectangular microstrip patch antenna with enhanced results. Antennas are playing the most important key role in wireless communication systems and especially microstrip patch antenna is the simplest and best form for mobile communication systems. Therefore, the design of antenna for mobile satellite communication and space to earth communication is described in this proposed work. The working of rectangular micro strip patch antenna is studied and the effect of height of the substrate on antenna performance is analyzed and the results are plotted. It has been noticed that the height of substrate should be neither small nor large. The effect of inserting a slot in the patch is also observed in this paper. Return Loss results are plotted for the designed structure and it is noticed that return loss is almost doubled by inserting a slot. Further two symmetrical slots are inserted in the patch and the respective results are plotted. Insertion of two slots gave multiple operating frequencies to the antenna with a compromise of s11. The simulation of proposed structures of antennas is done using ANSYS HFSS (high-frequency structure simulator) which is commercially used as a finite element method solver for electromagnetic structures. A sphere with human brain characteristics is created and average SAR (specific absorption ratio) is plotted on the head model. The proposed antenna has enhanced return loss of -52dB and VSWR of 1.005 at 2.24GHz. This work also introduces multiple operating frequencies using two slots of same size.

This paper presents the design, simulation, realization and analysis of flexible microstrip patch antenna for S-band applications. The proposed design also adopts the conformal structure by utilizing flexible substrate. Conformal or flexible structure allows the antenna to fit with any specified shape as desired. The antenna patch dimensions is 43 mm × 25 mm without SMA connector. The patch is etched on the flexible dielectric substrate, pyralux FR 9111, with a relative dielectric constant of εr = 3 and the thickness of substrate, h = 0.025 mm. The antenna is designed to resonate at 3.2 GHz. The return loss (RL) of the simulation is -35.80 dB at the center frequency of 3.2 GHz. The fabricated antenna prototype was measured at different bending angles scenarios including 0º, 30º, 60º, and 90º. The measurement of antenna prototype shows that the center frequency is shifted to the higher frequency of 3.29 GHz, compared to the simulation result. Among these scenarios, measurement at bending angle of 90º gives the best performance with RL = - 31.38 dB at 3.29 GHz, the bandwidth is 80 MHz, and the impedance ZA = 48.36 + j2.04 Ω. Despite a slight differences from simulation results, the designed antenna still performs well as expected.

Communication applications require wide band and highly directive planner antennas. For such requirement this work deals with the analysis and simulation of a rectangular microstrip patch antenna loaded with INTERCONNECTED SRR metamaterial structure at a height of 3.2mm from the ground plane. The work also investigates the potential properties of the proposed metamaterial structure. The proposed Antenna is designed at a operating frequency of 2.75GHz to meet S-Band (2-4GHz) applications. By loading Interconnected SRR metamaterial structure with the rectangular patch antenna at a height of 3.2mm, the antennas bandwidth is found to be increased up to 378MHz and return loss is reduced to -42.2dB i.e. the potential properties like return loss, bandwidth, directivity and total efficiency of the proposed antenna increases to a great extent in comparison to the rectangular patch antenna alone. Double Negative properties of metamaterial have been proved by Nicolson-Ross-weir (NRW) method.
