Wideband Stacked Square Microstrip Antenna with Shorting Plates

The impedance bandwidth of a probe-fed microstrip antenna (MSA) is inherently narrow. Therefore, many approaches to increase the bandwidth such as using additional microstrip resonators [1], stacking parasitic patches above a fed patch (stacked MSA) [2] and embedding a U-shaped slot in the radiating patch [3], etc. have been proposed. It is desirable for wideband antennas that the frequency cha...

Stacked Rectangular Microstrip Antenna with a Shorting Plate for Dual Band (VICS/ETC) Operation in ITS

A stacked rectangular microstrip antenna with a shorting plate is proposed as a car antenna for dual band (VICS and ETC) operation in the ITS. The proposed antenna has the proper radiation patterns for the VICS and ETC. The antenna is small in size and effective in dual band operation. key words: stacked microstrip antenna with a shorting plate, dual band operation, vehicle information and comm...

Effect of different substrates on Compact stacked square Microstrip Antenna

Selection of the most suitable substrate for a Microstrip antenna is a matter of prime importance. This is because many limitations of the microstrip antenna such as high return loss, low gain and low efficiency can be overcome by selecting an appropriate substrate for fabrication of the antenna, without shifting the resonant frequency significantly. The substate properties such as its dielectr...

Design of Coaxial fed Spiral - Slot Microstrip Patch Antenna for DTV Reception with Shorting Plates

In this paper a novel design of small sized, low profile coaxial fed microstrip patch antenna is proposed for terrestrial DTV signal reception applications in the UHF band frequency range of 540-890MHz. Designed model was spiral slot microstrip patch antenna using shorting plates for size reduction. Different parameters like return loss, VSWR, gain along θ, Ø directions, radiation pattern in 2D...
