The paper discusses about the implementation of Heptagonal shaped compact ultra-wideband planar Microstrip patch antenna with and without defected ground plane structure (DGS) with analysis of various parameters like return loss, VSWR bandwidth etc. A substrate made up of dielectric constant FR4 epoxy is utilized and the 2D and 3D radiation pattern are also discussed. DGS has helped to fine tune and increase the bandwidth & its effects have been studied. A volume of 28x32x1.7 (1523.2 mm^3) is occupied by the size of antenna with dielectric constant of εr = 4.4, tanδ= 0.02. In order to provide fine tuning in the return loss graph, a 50Ω line with width of W=3mm direct line feeding method has been used for the micro-strip line and slots have been introduced in the ground plane structure, for achieving the good bandwidth coupling between the slots plays an important role. The antenna parameters including VSWR, Gain and return losses v/s frequency effects for the antenna with variation of slots and dimensions has been studied in this paper along with the analysis of important parameters such as return loss (dB), bandwidth, VSWR (Voltage Standing Wave Ratio) of patch antenna which has been performed using Ansoft HFSS v15 tool. The proposed design of the heptagonal shaped antenna operates as an ultra-wide band antenna ranging from 3.20 GHz to 10 GHz and beyond covering most of applications from LTE, Wimax (3.5/5.55GHz), Radio altimeter, RFID and ISM WLAN 5.2/5.8GHz etc

The lower band and mid band ‘5G’ are known to use the frequencies in the range of 600 MHz – 6 GHz worldwide, especially 3.5GHz to 4.2GHz. A new modified multi slot compact planar ultra-wideband Microstrip patch antenna with a split ground plane has been proposed in this paper. The size of the antenna occupies volume of 34x30x1.7 (1734 mm^3) which has been designed on a FR4 epoxy substrate with dielectric constant of 4.4. In order to provide dual wideband characteristics, a ‘T and G ’shaped slots with split ground plane using line feeding structure has been used. The effects on the return losses v/s frequency for the antenna using different substrates with varying dielectric constants for the same dimensions has been studied in this paper. The proposed antenna operates in dual band with first band being a narrow band ranging from 1.92GHz to 2.06GHz and the second band is an ultra-wide band which ranges from 3.40 GHz to 9.6 GHz. The split ground plane and slot size variations in the T and G slot geometry helps in retrieving the dual bands. The proposed antenna is covering applications from LTE band No 40, UMTS IMT-2000, Wimax (3.5/5.55GHz), ISM WLAN 5.2/5.8GHz and RFID etc. The direct line feeding method which uses a 50Ω line with width of W=3mm has been used for the micro-strip line. With split ground plane, coupling between the slots plays role for achieving the good bandwidth. The analysis of return loss (dB), bandwidth, VSWR (Voltage Standing Wave Ratio) of patch antenna with different substrates and variation of the sizes of slots in shapes has been performed using HFSS tool [12] and results has been studied in this paper.

In this research paper a design of Microstip patch antenna for the ultra-wide band (UWB) applications is presented. Ultra wide band antennas has very wide band of operation which accommodates many communication frequencies as set by the federal commission of communication. The UWB antennas is based on the micro strip patch antenna concept and the design of the antenna is based on the stack antenna or multi-layer antenna. Stacking is used in designing for increasing the bandwidth of the antenna so stacking concept is good for the designing of the UWB antenna. The feeding used to feed the antenna is micro strip line feed. Micro strip line feeding technique is one of very popular feeding technique to feed the antenna because its fabrication is very simple. The proposed design is simulated in the CADFEKO software which is very useful for the design and analysis of a wide range of electromagnetic problem. It has many applications to simulate 3D electromagnetic circuit included antenna design, micro strip antenna and circuits. The simulation results shows the antenna bandwidth of 13.9 GHz from 2.6 to 16.5 GHz. So we can clearly say that the antenna is ultra-wide band in nature.

This paper presents the design of a dual-band microstrip patch antenna for Wi-Fi that operates at 2.5 GHz and 5.8 GHz. The antenna contains a rectangular patch with two rectangular slots. The first slot is incorporated in the patch while the second slot is incorporated in the ground plane. The antenna is based on a microstrip fed rectangular patch printed on the FR-4 epoxy substrate with a dielectric constant of 4.4 and a thickness of 1.6 mm with patch size 24 mm × 21 mm. The simulated result shows that the realized antenna successfully works on dual-band and subsequently achieves a bandwidth of 100 MHz and 200 MHz as well as the return loss about -29.9 dB and -15.16 dB for 2.5 GHz and 5.8 GHz respectively. A stable omnidirectional radiation pattern is observed in the operating frequency bands. The antenna meets the required specifications for 802.11 WLAN standards.

Communication applications require wide band and highly directive planner antennas. For such requirement this work deals with the analysis and simulation of a rectangular microstrip patch antenna loaded with INTERCONNECTED SRR metamaterial structure at a height of 3.2mm from the ground plane. The work also investigates the potential properties of the proposed metamaterial structure. The proposed Antenna is designed at a operating frequency of 2.75GHz to meet S-Band (2-4GHz) applications. By loading Interconnected SRR metamaterial structure with the rectangular patch antenna at a height of 3.2mm, the antennas bandwidth is found to be increased up to 378MHz and return loss is reduced to -42.2dB i.e. the potential properties like return loss, bandwidth, directivity and total efficiency of the proposed antenna increases to a great extent in comparison to the rectangular patch antenna alone. Double Negative properties of metamaterial have been proved by Nicolson-Ross-weir (NRW) method.


The main aim of this work is to design a compact Rectangular shaped Multislot patch antenna for Ultra Wide Band (UWB) and X band applications. The proposed antenna has a condensed size of 35*30*1.6mm3 . The antenna consists of a rectangular patch with microstrip line feed etched on FR4-epoxy substrate with dielectric constant of 4.4. To improve the bandwidth, circular slots are made in patch and the ground plane. The proposed antenna achieves wide bandwidth of 12.7GHz (3.3-16 GHz) having four resonance frequency with good return loss and maximum gain of 9.64dBi. The antenna is designed, simulated and analyzed by using HFSS (High Frequency Structural Simulator). The charisma of this design is that it employs single patch that makes it easy to fabricate and cost-effective as well.

Abstract In this paper, using in-depth simulations and measurements, a simple and compact design is engineered for making a circular ring microstrip patch antenna radiating element which is suitable for different ultra wide band(UWB) applications. This design approach is different because it has not utilized the usual method of using a set of electromagnetic equations and calculations to make the radiating antenna. Measurements and simulations were performed on Microwave CST. Using this measurement engineering approach, novelty of proposed antenna structure is obtained by making the required changes in the ground plane. The measurements showed that truncating the ground plane by a square shape structure of 2.5mm by 2.5mm size at the feed point was practically significant to provide an impedance bandwidth (\({S}_{11}cript>\)) ranging from 2.75 GHz to 32.035 GHz with a VSWR which is less than 2. For this entire bandwidth the directivity has shown a variation from 0.8 dBi to 7.9 dBi. The compact size (33mm x28mm x1.57mm), low design complexity, very high bandwidth, good directivity and satisfying VSWR has made this antenna unique among all previously presented UWB antennas.


This paper presents the prototype and simulations of a compact rectangular microstrip patch antenna for ultra-wideband applications. The proposed antenna is printed on FR4 (Flame Retardant) substrate with relative permittivity of 4.4, dielectric loss tangent of 0.0024 and the dimensions of 57 × 25 × 1.57 mm3 . The radiating patch of the antenna is loaded with two rectangular stubs along its upper and lower edges and an equilateral triangular notch is truncated from the reduced ground plane to achieve optimum results in terms of bandwidth and reflection coefficient. It is fed along the centerline of symmetry by 50Ω microstrip feed line. The simulated return loss ( ) characteristics show that the proposed antenna has a capability of covering the wireless bands from 0.17GHz to 7.25GHz with impedance bandwidth of 7.08GHz and exhibits a peak gain of 5dB at 7.25GHz which is acceptable for UWB systems.


A compact rectangular MS antenna for Ultra Wide Band applications is designed. In the proposed design the rectangular patch antenna designed with cutting a slot in ground of length and width 2.5mm and 3.0mm respectively at the back of feed line. By using the defective ground plane a wide BWof 9.782 GHz with frequency band 3.099 GHz to 12.278 GHz is achieved. The designed antenna with a compressed size of 30 mm x 30 mm is fabricated and tested. The antenna’s return loss and VSWR plots are presented here to confirm the complete UWB bands. Special configuration of patch antenna with slotted partial ground was designed and optimized using CST Microwave Studio.
