A rectangular microstrip patch antenna with defected ground structure with E-shaped and square shaped slot on the patch is proposed here. The proposed antenna design consists of H-shaped defect on the ground plane. The complete antenna system is constructed on 45.4mm X 45.4mm X 1.6mm, FR-4 substrate with dielectric constant of 4.4 and substrate height of 1.6mm. The antenna mainly works in 4-6 GHz band. The various characteristics parameters of the antenna like return loss, voltage standing wave ratio, impedance, gain, bandwidth and radiation pattern are studied. The antenna is simulated using high frequency structured simulator software , simulated < -10dB, in the entire operating range of 4-6 GHz.The proposed antenna design is mainly focused for the wireless applications and is suitable for IEEE 802.11 WLAN standards in the bands 5.2/5.8 GHz and WiMAX standards in the bands at 5.5 GHz. In this design microstrip line feeding is used.

<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>
