ABSTRAKPenelitian ini mengusulkan desain dan prototipe antena mikrostrip log periodik yang dikembangkan dengan metode parasitik air gap (celah udara) untuk aplikasi TV digital pada rentang frekuensi 478-694 MHz. Penggunaan elemen parasitik dengan celah udara bertujuan untuk meningkatkan nilai gain pada antena. Dari hasil pengukuran diperoleh nilai return loss sebesar -20.27 dB dan VSWR sebesar 1.31 pada frekuensi kerja 600 MHz. Bandwidth yang dihasilkan dari antena yang telah dipabrikasi adalah 273 MHz dengan rentang frekuensi kerja 461 MHz – 734 MHz. Gain yang dihasilkan dari antena mikrostrip log periodik dengan elemen parasitik adalah 16.67 dB pada frekuensi kerja 600 MHz atau meningkat 40.02 % dibandingkan dengan log periodik konvensional yang telah didesain sebelumnya. Dari keseluruhan hasil yang diperoleh maka dapat disimpulkan bahwa antena yang diusulkan dapat digunanakan sebagai antena penerima untuk aplikasi TV Digital di Indonesia.Kata kunci: antena, mikrostrip, log periodik, parasitik, celah udara ABSTRACTThis study proposes the design and prototype of log periodic microstrip antenna which was developed using the parasitic air gap for digital TV applications with a frequency range of 478-694 MHz. The use of parasitic elements with air gap aims to increase the gain of the antenna. From the measurement results, proposed antenna obtained return loss of -20.27 dB and VSWR of 1.31 at the working frequency of 600 MHz. The bandwidth produced from proposed antenna is 273 MHz with a working frequency range of 461 MHz - 734 MHz. The gain generated from log periodic microstrip antenna with parasitic element is 16.67 dB at the working frequency of 600 MHz or increased 40.02 % compared with conventional log periodic that have been designed before. From the overall results obtained, it can be concluded that the proposed antenna can be used as receiver antenna for Digital TV applications in Indonesia.Keywords: antenna, microstrip, log periodic, parasitic, air gap

This research paper explains the design of rectangular shaped patch microstrip antenna power fed with coaxial probe feed, which is working around 2300 MHz 4G LTE band of frequency. It is designed by using the FR4 substrate. It applies to the devices which work around this frequency. Theoretical calculations are made and simulation results are performed using Zeland IE3D Software. Their simulation of antenna results exhibits the gain of 1.5 dB, return loss of -14 dB, VSWR of 1.5 and bandwidth of 80 MHz.

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.
