<abstract><p>Multi-band microstrip patch antennas are convenient for mm-wave wireless applications due to their low profile, less weight, and planar structure. This paper investigates patch geometry optimization of a single microstrip antenna by employing a binary coded genetic algorithm to attain triple band frequency operation for wireless network application. The algorithm iteratively creates new models of patch surface, evaluates the fitness function of each individual ranking them and generates the next set of offsprings. Finally, the fittest individual antenna model is returned. Genetically engineered antenna was simulated in ANSYS HFSS software and compared with the non-optimized reference antenna with the same dimensions. The optimized antenna operates at three frequency bands centered at 28 GHz, 40 GHz, and 47 GHz whereas the reference antenna operates only at 28 GHz with a directivity of 6.8 dB. Further, the test result exhibits broadside radiation patterns with peak directivities of 7.7 dB, 12.1 dB, and 8.2 dB respectively. The covered impedance bandwidths when S<sub>11</sub>$ \leq $-10 dB are 1.8 %, 5.5 % and 0.85 % respectively.</p></abstract>

Abstract We propose simple designs of compact patch antennas with bandwidth enhancement. Firstly, an inverted “L” strip is loaded onto the corner of one radiating patch edge to create an additional resonant mode which can be combined with that one of the conventional patch to enhance the operating bandwidth. Secondly, the “L” strip is replaced by inverted “T” strip to improve further the bandwidth by creating two adjustable resonant modes. The two proposed patch antennas have the particularity of enhancing the bandwidth significantly without increasing their profile and their overall sizes. Two antenna prototypes are fabricated and tested. Measurements reveal that the patch antenna loaded with “L” strip has stable radiation characteristics with 5.2 times enhancement in the relative bandwidth compared with a conventional patch antenna. The antenna loaded with inverted “T” strip has wider bandwidth (6.25 times wider than the conventional patch) and covers the operating band 5.07–5.89 GHz (15%) with measured peak gain and peak efficiency of 6.25 dBi and 78%, respectively. The proposed antennas are easy to fabricate, have a low-profile, and exhibit good performances which make them good candidates to use in real wireless applications.

Antena merupakan satu komponen penting dalam sistem komukasi wayarles. Antena mikrojalur boleh digunakan untuk aplikasi wayarles kerana ia mempunyai ciri–ciri seperti ringan, mudah dipasang dan dihasilkan dalam kuantiti yang banyak. Walaupun antenna mikrojalur mempunyai ciri–ciri tersebut yang menjadikannya sesuai untuk digunakan dalam aplikasi wayarles, namun ia mempunyai satu kekurangan yang agak serius, iaitu ciri lebar jalur yang sempit. Selalunya, antena mikrojalur mempunyai jalur di antara 1 – 3%. Tetapi, sekiranya kekurangan ini dapat diatasi, potensi antena mikrojalur boleh dimaksimumkan. Satu teknik alternatif untuk memperluaskan lebar jalur antena mikrojalur telah dikaji dan dicadangkan di sini. Aplikasi wayarles yang telah dipilih untuk dikaji ialah rangkaian kawasan tempatan tanpa wayar (WLAN) berasaskan kepada piawaian IEEE 802.11b. Di Malaysia, jalur WLAN adalah di antara 2.4 GHz hingga 2.48 GHz. Teknik yang dipilih untuk meluaskan lebar jalur ini ialah Antena Mikrojalur Dua Tampal Serupa Dengan Ruangan Udara (IDMA). Dengan menggunakan teknik ini, perluasan lebar jalur hingga lebih kurang 11% dapat dicapai. Jalur ini sememangnya dapat merangkumi jalur WLAN dengan frekuensi operasinya pada 2.45 GHz. Kata kunci: Rangkaian kawasan tempatan wayarles (WLAN); antena mikrojalur dua tampal serupa dengan ruangan udara (IDMA) Antenna is a vital component in wireless application systems. The microstrip antenna can be used for wireless applications as it has features such as light weight, easily mounted and it is easy to mass produce. Although there are many features that suits well for microstrip antenna to be deployed for wireless applications, there is a very serious limitation where it has a very narrow bandwidth. The typical bandwidth of the microstrip antennas is between 1 – 3%. If this limitation is eliminated, the microstrip antenna can be used to its full potential. An alternative bandwidth enhancement technique is studied and then proposed in order to broaden the bandwidth of the microstrip antenna. The wireless application that is selected to be studied is the Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) based on the IEEE 802.11b standard. In Malaysia, this WLAN band spans from 2.4 GHz to 2.48 GHz. The bandwidth enhancement technique which is selected is the Identical Dual–Patch Microstrip Antenna with Air–Gap (IDMA). By using this technique, a bandwidth enhancement of about 11% has been achieved. This bandwidth very well covers the required WLAN band with an operating frequency of 2.45 GHz. Key words: Wireless local area network (WLAN); identical dual patch microstrip antenna with air–gap (IDMA)

This paper presents different reconfigurable antennas with frequency, polarization, and pattern diversities. All the antennas have a very simple, novel, and compact structures, which are used for different wireless communication applications. These antennas employ switching for obtaining different reconfigurations. At first, an E-shaped antenna is designed for multi-band frequency reconfigurability. Second, circular and rectangular-shaped patch antennas are designed for achieving diversity in polarization. At last, a pattern reconfigurable antenna is designed with multiport excitation. These antenna performances are analyzed using various parameters such as return loss, radiation pattern, voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR), and gain. The prototypes of the antennas are fabricated and measured results along with simulated ones are presented. Both the results are in good agreement.
