Dual U Slot Loaded Truncated Microstrip Patch Antenna is designed for wireless applications. The proposed geometry comprised of two inverted U slots in truncated circular patch antenna operation covering 2.24 to 2.72 GHZ frequency bands are obtained. It is found that the slot and truncated is used to improve the bandwidth and return loss respectively. The resonant frequency is found to be 2.5GHZ. The bandwidth of the proposed antenna for lower and upper resonant frequency is found to be 19.2%. The proposed antenna is fed by 50Ω co-axial probe feed and simulated on Rogers RT/duroid5880 substrate.  Rogers RT/duroid 5880 substrate has dielectric constant and loss tangent of 2.2 and 0.0009 respectively. An air gap is used in this proposed design for tuning the desired frequencies and increasing the bandwidth. The antenna shows an acceptable gain of 2.1dB to 5.7dB with unidirectional pattern over the obtained frequency band. 


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 of a dual-band microstrip patch antenna for Wi-Fi that operates at 2.5 GHz and 5.8 GHz. The antenna contains a rectangular patch with two rectangular slots. The first slot is incorporated in the patch while the second slot is incorporated in the ground plane. The antenna is based on a microstrip fed rectangular patch printed on the FR-4 epoxy substrate with a dielectric constant of 4.4 and a thickness of 1.6 mm with patch size 24 mm × 21 mm. The simulated result shows that the realized antenna successfully works on dual-band and subsequently achieves a bandwidth of 100 MHz and 200 MHz as well as the return loss about -29.9 dB and -15.16 dB for 2.5 GHz and 5.8 GHz respectively. A stable omnidirectional radiation pattern is observed in the operating frequency bands. The antenna meets the required specifications for 802.11 WLAN standards.

In this section, we will discuss the design and implementation of a new coplanar waveguide (CPW) antenna, which is designed for use in ultra-wideband (UWB) communication. Two carved ground planes distinguish the radiator from the rest of the chassis. It is necessary to dig a hole in the ruined ground. Circular radiators with rectangular cutouts are excellent for superheterodyne receivers because they have wider bandwidths than other types of radiators. This antenna operates at a frequency of 7 GHz and has a return loss of less than -10 dB. Its working frequency is 7 GHz. When utilising HFSS12, it is possible to determine S11 and VSWR.

A diamond-shaped patch antenna with slots for desirable return loss, gain, and bandwidth was designed to achieve the intended goal. ROGERS 5880 was chosen as the substrate material and the antenna was simulated using CST (Computer simulation Technology) software. The designed microstrip patch antenna has a bandwidth from 2.12 to 9.24 GHz. The proposed antenna was put on the human body and had a SAR value of 1.44 W/kg, which was determined to be within the acceptable limit of 1.6 W/kg. Hence, the antenna can be used for on-body communication which is not detrimental to the human body.

In this paper, a microstrip patch antenna is designed to be used for X-band VSAT application at 7.5 GHz. The antenna is proposed to replace the massive and commonly used parabolic reflector antennas (46.0 inch × 29.3 inch × 13.5 inch (116.84 cm × 74.42 cm × 34.29 cm) with weight of 66.2 kg) in terms of portability due to its compact and lightweight features, with overall dimensions of 19.00 mm × 30.55 mm. The 7.5 GHz frequency is chosen based on the X-band frequency used in Malaysia, as reported by STRIDE. The microstrip patch antenna is first designed and simulated using CST Microwave Studio (CST MWS) and exhibits a good return loss (S11) of -42.09 dB, a bandwidth of 399 MHz, directivity of 7.63 dB and gain of 7.18 dB. The antenna is then fabricated using RT/duroid ® High Frequency 5880 substrate with a dielectric constant of ?r = 2.2, loss tangent of ? = 0.0009 and thickness of t = 1.574 mm. Next, the return loss and radiation pattern measurements are carried out to confirm the simulated results. The measurement of the antenna prototype provides a return loss S11 of -30.53 dB, bandwidth of 455 MHz, directivity of 5.51 dB and gain of 3.88 dB.

Seterusnya, pengukuran kehilangan pulangan dan corak radiasi dilakukan untuk mengesahkan keputusan simulasi. Pengukuran prototaip antena jalurmikro menunjukkan kehilangan pulangan S11 -30.53 dB, lebar jalur 455 MHz, keterarahan 5.51 dB dan gandaan 3.88 dB.

Ultra-wideband (UWB) patch antenna for Ku/K band applications is presented. In this paper, a microstrip line feed has been modified to an elliptical gradient structure, and the conventional radiator patch has been developed through the use of the symmetrically circular slots. These modifications have been used to improve the performance of the antenna significantly. Upper and lower frequency ranges achieve UWB antenna performances start from 11.57 GHz to 21.45 GHz. Proposed antenna exhibits good impedance matching, which makes it convenient to work in various applications. Besides that, the reflection coefficient is reduced attained to -31.81 dB over the operating band. The antenna is developed and analyzed using the commercially available software FEKO simulator based on the method of moments (MoM). Other parameters results such as sidelobe level (SLL) and beamwidth (half power - 3 dB) are added and discussed significantly. The proposed design is fabricated and tested experimentally, and the results show that a satisfying agreement with the simulation results.

<p>A compact ultra wideband (UWB) antenna for operation at 6 GHz intended for microwave medical imaging (MMI) application is proposed. The microstrip patch antenna (MPA) was design in hexagon shape which is contain H-slot at the centre top of the patch and a slot at the ground. Those slots method is utilised to enhance the operating bandwidth as well as minimising the antenna’s impedance mismatch caused by its proximity to material. Results shows that, the implementation of slot on the patch has profoundly enhance the bandwidth (BW) of the antenna to 503.54 MHz. Measurement of fabricated antenna produce significant result in term of producing wide bandwidth of 520 MHz, with slightly shifting on operating frequency. Therefore, it has been proved that the required performance of UWB antenna has been achieved successfully.</p><p><em> </em></p>


This paper presents the prototype and simulations of a compact rectangular microstrip patch antenna for ultra-wideband applications. The proposed antenna is printed on FR4 (Flame Retardant) substrate with relative permittivity of 4.4, dielectric loss tangent of 0.0024 and the dimensions of 57 × 25 × 1.57 mm3 . The radiating patch of the antenna is loaded with two rectangular stubs along its upper and lower edges and an equilateral triangular notch is truncated from the reduced ground plane to achieve optimum results in terms of bandwidth and reflection coefficient. It is fed along the centerline of symmetry by 50Ω microstrip feed line. The simulated return loss ( ) characteristics show that the proposed antenna has a capability of covering the wireless bands from 0.17GHz to 7.25GHz with impedance bandwidth of 7.08GHz and exhibits a peak gain of 5dB at 7.25GHz which is acceptable for UWB systems.
