This paper presents a Reconfigurable Stacked Patch Microstrip Antenna (RSPMA) uses a combination of aperture coupled technique and stacked patch technology for reducing feigned radiation patterns. This RSPMA consists of three FR-4 substrate layers with 4.7 mm thickness each and 3 mm thick of an air-filled substrate between stacked patches and the ground plane. The top patches are rectangular shaped with a T-shaped hole at the center and the bottom patches are T-shaped, both etched on top of substrate 1 and substrate 2 respectively act as a radiating element. Two H-shape designs of aperture slots of different sizes on the ground plane are positioned at the center of the ground plane with reference to the top patches and bottom patches. A copper strip is used as an ideal RF switch is implemented at the feed line network for the ON and OFF mode. Thus, by adjusting the switch mode, the resonance frequencies can be varied, thus frequency reconfigurable is achieved. The activation of the selected aperture slots will produce waves and radiates the signal to the radiating layers of the patch antenna. Hence, two different frequencies, either at 1.8 GHz or 2.3 GHz were achieved through the RSPMA with the gain of 3.691 dB and 2.291 dB, respectively. The antenna designed was simulated using CST Microwave Studio at an operating frequency of 1 GHz to 2.7 GHz. The RSPMA is said to be potentially beneficial to the wireless communication system.

This paper presents a compact, tri-bands, rectangular patch antenna based on H-Tree fractal slots structure for modern wireless communication systems has been introduced. The antenna structure consists of a 70.70×56mm2 rectangular patch printed on 173×173×1.6mm3 FR4 substrate. H-Tree slots fractal geometry with the defective ground plane on the other side to enhance gain and bandwidth. The suggested antenna is fed by a 50 Ω microstrip line. The antenna shows three resonance frequencies: 0.784, 1.158, and 1.772 GHz. The suggested antenna offers a total size reduction of about 75 %. The designed antenna possesses fractional bandwidths of 3.976 %, 7 %, and 2.7866 % for the first, second, and third resonances, respectively. Finally, the proposed antenna is a candidate for Global System for Mobile communications (GSM).

A Compact microstrip antenna with rectangular slotted radiating element has been developed. Four slots have been introduced on the radiating element with the use of a partial ground plane and a wideband response has been obtained. The bandwidth of the proposed antenna is 1.7 GHz with a percentage bandwidth of 71%. A low-cost dielectric (FR4_EPOXY) has been considered in the development of the proposed antenna. The obtained frequency band is from 1.9 GHz to 3.6 GHz. To investigate the robustness of our modelled antenna the simulation process has been carried out using two different solvers (Finite Element Method and Finite Integration Technique). In addition, the designed antenna was realized and these results were compared with those of the simulation. The proposed antenna is suitable for many LTE bands {1, 3, 7… 38, 40} broadly deployed in European, South American, Asian, and African countries, Wi-Fi (2.4 GHz), and WiMAX technology (3.5 GHz).

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.

In light of the growth in demand for multiband antennas for medical applications, this research proposes a MICS/ISM meander-line microstrip antenna encapsulated in an oblong-shaped pod for use in diagnoses of the gastrointestinal tract. The proposed antenna is operable in the Medical Implant Communication System (MICS) and the Industrial, Scientific and Medical (ISM) bands. The antenna structure consists of a meander-line radiating patch, a flipped-L defected ground plane, and a loading resistor for antenna miniaturization. The MICS/ISM microstrip antenna encapsulated in an oblong-shaped pod was simulated in various lossy-material environments. In addition, the specific absorption rate (SAR) was calculated and compared against the IEEE C95.1 standard. For verification, an antenna prototype was fabricated and experiments carried out in equivalent liquid mixtures, the dielectric constants of which resembled human tissue. The measured impedance bandwidths (|S11| ≤ −10 dB) for the MICS and ISM bands were 398–407 MHz and 2.41–2.48 GHz. The measured antenna gains were −38 dBi and −13 dBi, with a quasi-omnidirectional radiation pattern. The measured SAR was substantially below the maximum safety limits. As a result, the described MICS/ISM microstrip antenna encapsulated in an oblong-shaped pod can be used for real-time gastrointestinal tract diagnosis. The novelty of this work lies in the use of a meander-line microstrip, flipped-L defected ground plane, and loading resistor to miniaturize the antenna and realize the MICS and ISM bands.

A compact printed quadrant shaped monopole antenna is introduced in this paper as a good prospect for ultra wideband- multiple-input multiple-output (UWB-MIMO) system. The proposed MIMO antenna comprises two perpendicularly oriented monopoles to employ polarization diversity. An open circuit folded stub is extended from the ground plane of each radiating element to enhance the impedance bandwidth satisfying the UWB criteria. Two ‘L’ shaped slots are further etched on the radiator to provide good isolation performance between two radiators. The desirable radiator performances and diversity performances are ensured by simulation and/or measurement of the reflection coefficient, radiation pattern, realized peak gain, envelope correlation coefficient (ECC), diversity gain, mean effective gain (MEG) ratio and channel capacity loss (CCL). Results indicate that the proposed antenna exhibits 2.9–11 GHz 10 dB return loss bandwidth, mutual coupling <−20 dB, ECC < 0.003, MEG ratio ≈ 1, and CCL < 0.038 Bpsec/Hz, making it a good candidate for UWB and MIMO diversity application.

A microstrip antenna with a circular disc design and modified ground is proposed in this paper. Circular shapes of different size have been slotted out from the radiating patch for achieving extended ultra wideband (UWB) with GSM/Bluetooth bands with maximum bandwidth of 17.7 GHz (0.88-18.6 GHz). Further, characteristic of dual notch band is achieved, when a combination of T and L-shaped slots are etched into the circular disc and ground plane respectively. Change in length of slots is controlling the notch band characteristics. The proposed antenna has rejection bandwidth of 1.3-2.2 GHz (LTE band), 3.2-3.9 GHz (WiMAX band) and 5.2-6.1 GHz (WLAN band) respectively. It covers the frequency range of 0.88-18.5 GHz with the VSWR of less than 2. Also, an equivalent parallel resonant circuit has been demonstrated for band notched frequencies of the designed antenna. The gain achieved by the proposed antenna is 6.27 dBi. This antenna has been designed, investigated and fabricated for GSM, Bluetooth, UWB, X and Ku band applications. The stable gain including H & E-plane radiation pattern with good directivity and omnidirectional behavior is achieved by the proposed antenna. Measured bandwidths are 0.5 GHz, 0.8 GHz, 1.1 GHz and 11.7 GHz respectively.
