A microstrip patch antenna (MPA) loaded with linear-type negative permittivity metamaterials (NPMMs) is designed. The simple linear-type metamaterials have negative permittivity at 1–10 GHz. Four groups of antennas at different frequency bands are simulated in order to study the effect of linear-type NPMMs on MPA. The antennas working at 5.0 GHz are processed and measured. The measured results illustrate that the gain is enhanced by 2.12 dB, the H-plane half-power beam width (HPBW) is converged by 14°, and the effective area is increased by 62.5%. It can be concluded from the simulation and measurements that the linear-type metamaterials loaded on the substrate of MAP can suppress surface waves and increase forward radiation well.

The propagation of surface waves in the microstrip patch antenna proves to be proves to serious hindrance to radiation mechanism of the antenna. The periodic arrangement of shorting pins is embedded in the dielectric substrate at specific location to enhance the gain by around 4-5dB. The slotted perturbations have been done for achieving tri-band characteristics. The antenna is suitable for operation at three resonant frequency bands centered at 2.2421 GHz, 5.7632GHz and 7.7633GHz, which makes it suitable for WLAN applications.


This paper presents broadband circular polarized conformal antenna with a square patch for on-board applications. The substrate is located in between patch and the ground. A novel Circular polarized square patch with microstrip feed with two truncated corners with conformal structure is designed. Using a parametric study on the effect of the position of feed, the antenna parameters VSWR bandwidth, half power beam width and polarization of antenna are analysed. Finally fabrication of conformal square patch on 2.2 dialectic substrate and measured results are discussed.


In this paper, a metamaterial based compact multiband rectangular microstrip patch antenna is proposed. The return loss of metamaterial loaded microstrip patch antenna obtained at the resonant frequency 2.4GHz. The metamaterial structure printed on FR4 substrate at hight of 1.6mm from the ground plane. The FR4 substrate has 4.4 dielectric constant.These metamterial structures are periodic in nature and possesses negative permittivity and negative permeability. The greatest advantage of metamaterial loading will be miniaturization. This metamterial loaded rectangular patch antenna is simulated and tested using HFSS Simulator, where an electromagnetic analysis tool is used. The fabricated antennas results are measured using Vector Network Analyzer (VNA).

Microstrip antennas are popular because of their low profile, light weight and low cost but narrow bandwidth and gain are the main disadvantages of this antenna. In this paper Multiband Octagonal Patch Antenna has been designed by ring slot technique for working in nine different frequencies presented in multi band C-band, X-band, Ku-band, K-band, Ka-band, Q-band and U-bands. Main applications of these bands are used in terrestrial microwave communications. In this research work, the performance of octagonal patch antenna operating at 7 different bands is analyzed. The Design methodology of the proposed research carried in 2 major modules. 1. Design of Single Octagonal Ring Slot antenna, 2. Design of Double Octagonal Ring Slot antenna. In the first design a single octagonal ring slot microstrip patch antenna is developed which resonates at six frequencies of five different frequency bands of C-band, Ku-band, K-band, Q-band and U-bands. In the second design a double octagonal ring slot microstrip patch antenna is developed which resonates at nine frequencies of six different frequency bands of X-band, Ku-band, K-band, Ka-band, Q-band and U-bands. The proposed antenna has been simulated by HFSS and measured by combinational analyzer.

AbstractA low profile Circular Microstrip Patch Antenna (CMPA) with radius 5 mm has been designed to generate two resonant frequency bands that can be used for WLAN 5.2 (5.15–5.25) GHz, Wi-Fi (5.725–5.850) GHz and Dedicated Short-Range Communications (DSRC) (5.85–5.925) GHz application bands. The designed antenna has been slitted with two slits and a stub has also been attached resulting in an additional resonant band alongside the primary resonant band. Also, primary resonant frequency shifted from 7.22 GHz to 5.87 GHz yielding about 18.7% antenna miniaturization. Frequency bands generated by the designed antenna are (5.15–5.25) GHz and (5.71–6.01) GHz having peak gain 2.3 and 4.9 dB with broadside radiation pattern. A square shape FR4 substrate having dimension 32 × 32 × 3.2 mm3 and very thin copper sheet for radiating patch and ground has been used in the proposed antenna, which can fulfill the requirement of smaller antenna with dual band application. Simulation software HFSS ver.13 has been used to design and analyze the proposed antenna. Very good matching has been obtained between simulated and measured results.


This article focuses on designing a single-feed circularly polarized equilateral triangular microstrip patch antenna. The axial ratio bandwidth of the antenna is around 190 MHz. The antenna has been etched at specific locations for achieving circular polarization. The suppression of surface waves is also being focused upon for gain enhancement. The array of cylindrical metallic pins is embedded near the radiating side of the patch antenna. The gain enhancement of around 3.23 dB is observed. The antenna is designed for use in satellite communications.
