The aim of this work is the achievement, and the validation of a small microstrip patch antenna array using a circular shaped dumbbell defected ground structure. This work has been dividing into two stages: The first step is to miniaturize a microstrip patch antenna resonating at 5.8GHz, which operate in the Industrial Scientific Medical band (ISM) and the second is to use a circular defected ground structure to shift the resonance frequency of the antenna array from 5.8GHz to 2.45GHz. At last, a miniaturization up to 74.47%, relative to the original microstrip antenna array has accomplished. The antenna structure has designed, optimized and miniaturized using CST MW Studio. The obtained results have compared with Ansoft’s HFSS electromagnetic solver. The antenna array has fabricated on FR-4 substrate, and its reflection coefficient is measured.

An efficient technique utilizing the defected ground structure (DGS) to suppress the mutual coupling effect of a dual-frequency microstrip antenna array is studied. The proposed dual-frequency DGS beneath two patches includes two circular split ring slots, each of which corresponds to one resonant frequency of the patches. The characteristic of the compact DGS is theoretically and experimentally investigated. The prototypes of the patches arrays with and without the proposed DGS are fabricated. Both the simulated and measured results show that the mutual coupling between array elements has been obviously reduced at the two operating frequency bands with the implementation of the proposed DGS structure.
