scholarly journals Ultra-Wide Band Microstrip Patch Antenna for C and X -Band Applications with Effect of Copper Thickness

An ultrawide band partial ground miniaturized rectangular shape microstrip patch antenna is investigated in this paper. The size of the proposed antenna is 17×10×1.6 mm3 and is excited by microstrip line feed which operates for C band and Xband. In this article we have compared the variation in the output by changing the thickness of copper of the proposed antenna from 35μm and 70μm. The design is simulated by Ansoft’s HFSS13v which is based on finite element method then is fabricated using wet etching method and finally measured by copper mountain reflectometer R140 version. The performance of the rectangular shaped antenna is analyzed on various parameters like reflection coefficient, VSWR, group delay, gain, radiation pattern and radiation efficiency. The measured and simulated results reveal that proposed antenna resonates from 6.3-12GHz giving ultrawide band with bandwidth impedance of 62.9% with the gain of 3.94dBi and maximum radiation efficiency of 95% targeted for satellite communication, radars and radio navigation applications.

A spiral fork shaped hexagonal micro strip patch antenna is designed to operate at different frequencies, which are in ultra-wide band range (3.1-10.6GHz). The newly presented antenna is simulated on a Flame Retardant - 4 (FR4) epoxy material with dielectric constant 4.4and overall size of structure is 28*28mm2 . Coplanar waveguide feeding (CPW) is used in this design for easy simulation. This proposed triband structure resonates at 1.36GHz, 5.74GHz and 8.8GHz. The proposed pentaband antenna resonates at 2.38GHz, 3.64GHz, 6.76GHz, 7.36GHz and 8.98GHz with corresponding impedance bandwidths are 200MHz, 70MHz, 170MHz, 520MHz and 420MHz. The peak gains at their resonant frequencies are 1.77dB, 2.45dB, 3.53dB, 4.54dB and 2.28dB respectively with good radiation characteristics. These antennas are suitable for S - , C - and X - band applications.

In this paper, the performance of Microstrip Patch Antenna (MSPA) is analyzed by changing the substrate materials. MSPA is designed to operate with the fixed dimensions of ????????×????????×????.???????????????? for three substrate materials. A comparison has been done in terms of reflection coefficient (S11), gain, efficiency (η), radiation pattern and cost. The simulated results show very good performance with TLC substrate as compared to FR4 and RT Duroid by showing good radiation efficiency for all the three bands viz 7.0, 9.6 and 10.8 GHz with the efficiency of 99%, 99% and 96% respectively, stable radiation patterns, gain of 1.32, 1.81 and 2.0 dB. FR-4 and RT Duroid produces two bands each of 8.4/ 9.6 GHz and 11.1/12.0 GHz respectively which shows a gain of 1.29/1.36 dB for FR4 and 1.04/7.95 dB for RT Duroid along with efficiency of 68%/ 60% and 96%/96% respectively with acceptable bandwidth. The Antenna is simulated using HFSS simulator solution software.
