Patch antenna is being used widely in wearable and implantable devices due to its lightweight characteristics. Multi-band patch antenna designs are possible by incorporating professional naturally inspired fractal pattern generating methodologies. Automated Frequency Characteristics Analyzer (AFCA), Artificial Neural Network based Fractal Pattern Generator (AFPG) and Nitinol based Pattern Selector (NPS) functional modules are proposed in this work to design a Dual band Reconfigurable Fractal Antenna for Wearable Devices (DRFA). Producing a miniature fractal patch antenna to support famed 2.4 GHz and 5.2 GHz frequency bands with lesser than 20db return loss is the objective of this work. Numerous fractal patterns are generated with the help of AFPG and their frequency responses are analyzed by Ansys HFSS (High Frequency Structure Simulator) through AFCA module. The results are provided to the AFPG part to train the neural network with proper biasing updates. The fitness function is set to the dimension restriction of 3000 square μm with less than 20 return loss at commonly used 2.4 GHz and 5.2 GHz. The feed type and length of the patches are also fine-tuned by the proposed AFPG module.

<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>

In this paper, a simple mail box design of a dual band microstrip patch antenna, is proposed, designed, fabricated and measured for wireless LAN communications. The proposed antenna is designed using the TLC 30 (TACONIC) substrate, with a relative permittivity of 4.3 and substrate height of 1.6mm. It is designed to operate at 2.44 GHz and 5. 30 GHz respectively. The proposed antenna is the size of 31mm x 34mm x1.6mm and is incited by a 50 Ω micro strip feed line. The characteristics of the antenna are designed and the performance of the modelled antenna is evaluated using CST Microwave Studio. The return loss, radiation patterns and peak antenna gain of 6.5 dBi for frequency 2.44 GHz and 6.2 dBi for 5.30 GHz is separately and successfully plotted. The fabricated prototype exhibits an agreement between the measured and simulated return loss.


In this communication, a circular patch antenna is reported for dual- band operation based on VIAs. Initially the patch is resonating at single band with Linear Polarization (LP), and the Circular Polarization (CP) is obtained by inserting semi circular cuts at the edges of circular patch. The second band is achieved by loading the vertical metallic VIAs along the circumference of the patch antenna. The reported antenna is working at 2.4 GHz (Wi-Fi) and 3.5 GHz (5G) bands with Return Loss Band Width (RLBW) of 4.83% and 10.37% respectively. The Axial Ratio (AR) bandwidth at 5G band is 2.38% (3.31- 3.39 GHz)

To improve the antenna characteristics in terms of bandwidth, gain and its radiation characteristics without providing any phase reflections, Artificial Magnetic Conductor (AMC) are used in antenna designing. This paper initially designed AMC structure for 2.4GHz frequency. The proposed AMC structure consists of three L shaped and inverted L shaped slots and provides zero degrees phase reflection at 2.4GHz resonant frequency. This proposed AMC structure is incorporated on conventional micro strip square patch antenna and results are simulated in High Frequency Structure Simulator (HFSS) software. The Proposed AMC incorporated patch antenna, return loss is improved from -16.16dB to -31.75dB, VSWR is from 1.42 to 1.05, the band width is increased from 16.5 MHz to 348.1 MHz This design resonates at a frequency of 2.4GHz and applicable to Wi-Fi applications.

Abstract Novel and miniaturized hexagonal Microstrip patch antenna design is presented in this paper. Patch is fractured using Sierpinski and Koch structures to make the antenna applicable for multiband applications. Additionally ground is defected to enhance the bandwidth and further size is reduced. Material FR-4 (εr = 4.4)has been chosen to design proposed antenna and substrate thickness as 1.59 mm. Microstrip feed technique is used as it provides better results. Gain obtained in this case is 5.57 dB, 7.49 dB and 4.02 dB with bandwidth as 606.8 MHz, 507 MHz and 2 GHz at 8.3 GHz, 12.6 GHz and 17.6 GHz resonant frequencies. The antenna is better to other designs in terms of parameters like bandwidth, directivity, polarization, gain, return loss and dimension. The antenna provides application for military appliances. A good concord is obtained in Simulated and measured results.

Background: Modern communication devices are very much dependent on the operation of low profile antennas. The objective of this paper is to perform the design and simulation of a rectangular microstrip patch antenna at a resonant frequency of 9.5 GHz. Methods: Design of the antenna is given with various substrates like FR4, Teflon and Ceramic substrates at the desired frequency. For each substrate, the performance of the antenna is measured in terms of its return loss and Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR). Results: Ansoft High-Frequency Structure Simulator is used to simulate the antenna characteristics. Conclusion: Performance characteristics of the antenna with three different substrates are compared to identify the substrate that provides the accurate return loss and VSWR.

AbstractA low profile Circular Microstrip Patch Antenna (CMPA) with radius 5 mm has been designed to generate two resonant frequency bands that can be used for WLAN 5.2 (5.15–5.25) GHz, Wi-Fi (5.725–5.850) GHz and Dedicated Short-Range Communications (DSRC) (5.85–5.925) GHz application bands. The designed antenna has been slitted with two slits and a stub has also been attached resulting in an additional resonant band alongside the primary resonant band. Also, primary resonant frequency shifted from 7.22 GHz to 5.87 GHz yielding about 18.7% antenna miniaturization. Frequency bands generated by the designed antenna are (5.15–5.25) GHz and (5.71–6.01) GHz having peak gain 2.3 and 4.9 dB with broadside radiation pattern. A square shape FR4 substrate having dimension 32 × 32 × 3.2 mm3 and very thin copper sheet for radiating patch and ground has been used in the proposed antenna, which can fulfill the requirement of smaller antenna with dual band application. Simulation software HFSS ver.13 has been used to design and analyze the proposed antenna. Very good matching has been obtained between simulated and measured results.

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.
