In order to extend the bandwidth of a demonstrated antenna, symmetrical slots and equilateral arms inverted U-slot are loaded on the partial ground and patch individually. For additional enhancement in the secured bandwidth, symmetrical notches are truncated from the bottom of the patch. The antenna has a dimension of 30x40x1.6 mm3, which is erected on low cost, FR-4 substrate with relative permittivity , permeability and loss tangent of . The proposed design is analyzed and simulated using high frequency structure simulator (HFSS). The analyzed results are validated through experimented results. The proposed antenna offers a bandwidth of 140.2 % with a maximum radiation efficiency of 94 % over the frequency scope of 2.54 GHz to 14.47 GHz. The crosspolarization levels are also found to be 20-30 dB and 12-23 dB smaller than the co-polarized level for E-plane and H-plane respectively. For better execution and assessment of proposed antenna, a parametric study has been done to analyze the performance of antenna with variations in the length of a partial ground conductor beside the other parameters.

A CPW-fed defected substrate microstrip antenna is proposed. The proposed antenna shows wideband applications by choosing suitable defected crown shaped substrate. Defected substrate also reduces the size of an antenna. The radiating patch of proposed antenna is taken in the form of extended U-shape. The space around the radiator is utilized by extending the ground plane on both sides of radiator. Simulation of proposed antenna is done on Ansoft’s High Frequency Structure Simulator (HFSS v. 14). Measured results are in good agreement with simulated results. The prototype is taken with dimensions 36 mm × 42 mm × 1.6 mm that achieves good return loss, constant group delay, and good radiation characteristics within the entire operating band from 4.5 to 13.5 GHz (9.0 GHz) with 100% impedance bandwidth at 9.0 GHz centre frequency. Thus, the proposed antenna is applicable for C and X band applications.

Microstrip patch antenna is attractive for various applications due to its easy fabrication, low cost and small size. It simply comprises of a radiating patch and ground plane that are separated by a dielectric substrate. However, the resonance bandwidth of the microstrip antenna is still an issue that needs to be considered in research. This paper aims to enhance the bandwidth of a microstrip antenna or introduce more resonant frequencies within the Super High Frequency (SHF) band. The paper demonstrates empirical results for circular-shaped patch antenna using the High Frequency Structure Simulator (HFSS). It begins by investigating different patch sizes and substrate materials, so that an optimal preliminary design is introduced. Then, different slot shapes are inserted into the patch for significant enhancement of the resonance characteristics. As a result, new ultra-wideband (UWB) antenna designs are presented with bandwidth results reaching 15.5 GHz within the C, X, Ku and K bands. Also, new multiband antenna designs are presented with improved reflection valleys in the Ku, K and Ka bands.

AbstractA novel design of ultra-wideband CPW-fed compact monopole patch antenna is presented in the article. The size of the antenna is 22 × 18 × 1.6 mm and it operates well over an ultra-wideband frequency range 4.86–13.66 GHz (simulated) and 4.93–13.54 GHz (measured) covering C, X and partial Ku band applications. The proposed design consists of a defected ground plane and U-shape radiating patch along with two square shape parasitic patches in order to achieve the ultra-wideband (UWB) operations. The performance matrix is validated through measured results that indicate the wide impedance bandwidth (93.2 %) with maximum gain of 4 dBi with nearly 95 % of maximum radiation efficiency; moreover, the 3D gain pattern manifests approximately omni-directional pattern of the proposed design. The prototype has been modelled using HFSS (High Frequency Structure Simulator-18) by ANSYS, fabricated and tested using vector network analyser E5071C.

The various parameters such as return loss, voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR), antenna impedance, gain, directivity, group delay and phase of [Formula: see text], radiation efficiency and patterns are presented here. The depth of return loss is improved for a wide range of frequencies. The proposed fractal antenna is further extended to linear array to improve the gain and impedance bandwidth. The simulated and measured results prove the superiority of the proposed antenna.

The need for surveillance and security in Indonesian water region which can monitor activities of distance object such as illegal fishing, foreign vessels violation, piracy of vessels and smuggling can be done by using radio wave. Maritime radar over the horizon (OTH) surface wave is able to detect the existence of foreign vessels in Indonesian waters. Based on this, the study aimed to design a low cost antenna namely Yagi - Uda linear array antenna at 15 MHz frequency at frequency range 6 – 24 MHz for the application of over the horizon radar. Yagi - Uda antenna is superior in the spread of wave suitable to OTH Radar characteristic over the sea surface and big gain. Yagi - Uda antenna develops rapidly in communication system makes it applied in many modern communication devices nowadays.

Antenna Performance

The microstrip patch antenna is used in various communication applications including cellular phones, satellites, missiles, and radars, due to its several attractive features such as small size and weight, low cost, and easy fabrication. The microstrip patch antenna consists of a top radiating patch, a bottom ground plane, and a dielectric substrate in between. The patch can have different shapes, the rectangular patch being the most commonly used. In practice, the microstrip antenna suffers from narrow bandwidth and low gain efficiency. This paper aims to enhance the bandwidth and efficiency of a rectangular-patch antenna using the High-Frequency Structure Simulator (HFSS). Initially different patch sizes and substrate materials are investigated and optimal antenna parameters are achieved. Then, the antenna performance is further enhanced by inserting single and double slot designs into the patch. Two cost-effective feeding methods are involved in the investigation. The antenna is designed to operate in the Super High Frequency (SHF) band.
