A low profile, unidirectional, dual layer, and narrow bandwidth microstrip patch antenna is designed to resonate at 2.45 GHz. The proposed antenna is suitable for specific applications, such as security and military systems, which require a narrow bandwidth and a small antenna size. This work is mainly focused on increasing the gain as well as reducing the size of the unidirectional patch antenna. The proposed antenna is simulated and measured. According to the simulated and measured results, it is shown that the unidirectional antenna has a higher gain and a higher front to back ratio (F/B) than the bidirectional one. This is achieved by using a second flame retardant layer (FR-4), coated with an annealed copper of 0.035 mm at both sides, with an air gap of 0.04λ0as a reflector. A gain of 5.2 dB with directivity of 7.6 dBi, F/B of 9.5 dB, and −18 dB return losses (S11) are achieved through the use of a dual substrate layer of FR-4 with a relative permittivity of 4.3 and a thickness of 1.6 mm. The proposed dual layer microstrip patch antenna has an impedance bandwidth of 2% and the designed antenna shows very low complexity during fabrication.

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.

A microstrip patch antenna is designed for a wearable antenna. The performance of microstrip patch antenna loaded with reactive impedance surface (RIS) is described in terms of gain, bandwidth and return loss. The antenna is investigated in two conditions which are conventional microstrip antenna with RIS and without RIS. The designed antenna is also aimed at size reduction therefore it will be suitable for a wearable application. This antenna which is made fully using textile and it is designed for operation in the 2.45 GHz band. The performance of microstrip patch antenna loaded with RIS is described in terms of gain, bandwidth, return loss and radiation pattern. The antenna designed with RIS operates at 2.45 GHz. Bandwidth enhancement is achieved with RIS where the designed antenna can cater frequency from 2.4 GHz to 3 GHz. A gain enhancement is achieved of 20% is achieved compared with the conventional patch antenna. Although the size of the patch is reduced with the introduction of RIS, the overall size of the antenna with the substrate is almost similar to the conventional patch antenna. However, the performance of the antenna is greatly enhanced with the use of RIS.

The paper presents an artificial magnetic conductor (AMC) structure to enhance the gain of the double microstrip patch antenna. By placing this kind of metamaterial in between the two Rogers RT5880 substrates, the antenna achieved lots of improvement especially in terms of size miniaturization, bandwidth, return loss, gain and efficiency. The antenna is intended to operate at 16 GHz where the prospect fifth generation (5G) spectrum might be located. Integration of AMC structure into the proposed antenna helps to improve nearly 16.3% of gain and almost 23.6% of size reduction.
