scholarly journals Bandwidth Enhanced Multislot Rectangular Patch Antenna for UWB and X Band Wireless Applications

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.

In this paper, a novel circular slotted rectangular patch antenna with three triangle shape Defected Ground Structure (DGS) has been proposed. Radiating patch is made by cutting circular slots of radius 3 mm from the three sides and center of the conventional rectangular patch structure and three triangle shape defects are presented on the ground layer. The size of the proposed antenna is 38 X 25 mm2. Optimization is performed and simulation results have been obtained using Empire XCcel 5.51 software. Thus, a miniaturized antenna is designed which has three impedance bandwidths of 0.957 GHz,  0.779 GHz, 0.665 GHz with resonant frequencies at 3.33 GHz, 6.97 GHz and 8.59 GHz and the corresponding return loss at the three resonant frequencies are -40 dB, -43 dB and -38.71 dB respectively. A prototype is also fabricated and tested. Fine agreement between the measured and simulated results has been obtained. It has been observed that introducing three triangle shape defects on the ground plane results in increased bandwidth, less return loss, good radiation pattern and better impedance matching over the required operating bands which can be used for wireless applications and future 5G applications.

A low-cost multi-edged rectangular microstrip fractal antenna (RMFA) yielding a huge bandwidth of 8.62[Formula: see text]GHz has been proposed in this paper. The proposed fractal antenna design constitutes a radiation patch, fed with 50[Formula: see text][Formula: see text] microstrip line and a partial ground plane. The partial ground plane is the combination of shapes of rectangle and three-point arc. The proposed antenna is simulated as well as fabricated. The simulated results using electromagnetic solver software and measured with vector network analyzer bench MS46322A are presented and compared. 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 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.

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.


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.

This paper presents a novel patch antenna for TV white spaces applications. The shape of the proposed antenna is based on the shape of a wineglass. The dimension of the proposed antenna is 170 mm x 120 mm x 1.6 mm. After simulation, the proposed antenna resonates at 703 MHz with a return loss of -21.97 dB and covering a bandwidth from 495 MHz to 1540 MHz. Overall bandwidth coverage is 1045 MHz. So the proposed antenna is a wide band antenna covering almost the entire TV Ultra High Frequency (UHF) range. Simulated VSWR obtained at 703 MHz is 1.38 dB and simulated gain is 2.32 dB. The proposed antenna is fabricated using FR4 substrate and tested on Vector Network Analyzer (VNA). The measured return loss of fabricated antenna is -20.20 dB at 596 MHz. Proposed antenna shows the simulated radiation efficiency of 95%. Simulated and measured results showed good match between them. Proposed design is compared with few designs available in literature to validate its novelty and advantages.

<p>This paper presents Dual-Band proximity coupled feed rectangular Microstrip patch antenna with slots on the radiating patch and Defected Ground Structure. Initially a simple proximity coupled feed rectangular Microstrip patch antenna resonating at 2.4 GHz is designed. Etching out a ‘Dumbbell’ shaped defect from the ground plane and ‘T’ shaped slot from the radiating patch of the proximity coupled feed rectangular Microstrip patch antenna, results in a Dual-Band operation, i.e., resonating at 2.4 GHz and 4.5 GHz; with 30.3 % and 18.8% reduction in the overall area of the patch and the ground plane of the reference antenna respectively. The proposed antenna resonates in S-band at frequency of 2.4 GHz with bandwidth of 123.6 MHz and C-band at frequency of 4.5 GHz with bandwidth of 200 MHz, and a very good return loss of -22.1818 dB and -19.0839 dB at resonant frequency of 2.4 GHz and 4.5 GHz respectively is obtained. The proposed antenna is useful for different wireless applications in the S-band and C-band.</p>
