Background: In this paper, the design of a dual-band microstrip patch antenna with operating frequencies of 2.16 GHz and 2.79 GHz is proposed. Methods: The proposed antenna design is based upon the defected ground structure and rectangular patch with corner cuts. The presented antenna structure is simulated and optimized using CST microwave studio software. Results: The antenna resonates at 2.16 GHz and 2.79 GHz. The bandwidth of the proposed antenna is 2.08 GHz-2.25 GHz at center frequency 2.16 GHz and is 2.7 GHz-2.87 GHz at center frequency 2.79 GHz. The optimized antenna model is fabricated and measured. The measured and simulated results are presented and discussed. The proposed antenna provides a maximum gain of 4.463 dB and the maximum directivity of 5.846 dBi. The maximum radiation efficiency and total efficiency of the antenna are 79.85% and 69.01%, respectively. Conclusion: The proposed antenna is suitable for dual-band wireless applications.

<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>

in this paper, we propose a new multi-band patch antenna structure for embedded RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) readers and wireless communications. The proposed antenna is a dual band microstrip patch antenna using U-slot geometry. The operating frequencies of the proposed antenna are chosen as 2.4 and 0.9 (GHz), obtained by optimizing the physical dimensions of the U-slot. Several parameters have been investigated using Ansoft Designer software. The antenna is fed through a quarter wavelength transformer for impedance matching. An additional layer of alumina is added above the surface of the conductors to increase the performance of the antenna.

In this paper, a novel dual band microstrip patch antenna based on composite patch antenna and radiating part. By selecting a suitable offset feed position, it is feasible to provide 50Ω characteristic impedance and thus making better impedance matching. The proposed antenna has been improved broader bandwidth by using RT Duroid substrate. The radiating part is plays a important role in creating a lower operating band (2.45 GHz) in addition to achieve miniaturization. The proposed antenna has to be fabricated with RT / Duroid substrate and dimensions of 19 × 22 × 0.8 mm. The measured -10 dB bandwidth of 200 MHz at 2.45 GHz and 990 MHz at 5.45 GHz, which is quite useful for Industrial, Scientific and Medical (ISM) and WLAN applications.

<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>
