This paper represents microstrip antenna for dual band applications such as Global Positioning System (GPS) and Bluetooth applications. The designed antenna must perform dual frequency operation i.e. 1.57 GHz and 2.45 GHz. So antenna resonates at frequency 1.57 GHz for GPS and 2.45 GHz for Bluetooth applications. Using CAD-FEKO electromagnetic simulation software, antenna has been optimized for...

Microstrip antenna is gathering a lot of interest in communication systems. Genetic algorithm is a popular optimization technique and has been introduced for design optimization of proximity coupled antenna. Patch length, patch width are taken as optimization parameters. Return loss and radiation pattern for the optimized antenna are verified using IE3D software. Accuracy of the results encoura...

This work focuses on design and analysis of microstrip patch antenna as well as effect of slots made on patch antenna to improve the bandwidth. A microstrip line fed, dual slot, triple band, rectangular microstrip patch antenna is designed. The designed antenna is most suited for C band, X band and KU band applications. The return loss is below −10 dB in triple band with 1GHz bandwidth in the r...

One of the advantages of microstrip patches over conventional antennas is their small size. However, there are many present day applications where even these small radiators are too large. Conventional microstrip antennas assume infinitely large ground plane dimensions and thus they are large in size. The size of ground plane is the limitation of antenna characteristics and compactness. In this...

Microstrip patch antennas are widely used in modern day communication devices due to their light weight, low cost and ease of fabrication. In this paper, we have designed a Microstrip Patch Antenna and array of patch for 2.45GHz for Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) applications using antenna simulation software. The designed antenna consists of rectangular radiating patch on FR-4 (lossy) subs...

A compact wideband dual-frequency microstrip antenna is proposed in this paper. By employing an offset microstrip-fed line and a strip close to the radiating edges in the circular slot patch, an antenna operating at dual frequency with the impedance bandwidth of 26.2% and 22.2% respectively is presented. By attaching a strip to the radiating edges opposite to the microstrip-fed line, this alter...

We present microstrip patch antenna loaded with multiple split ring resonator substrate and superstrate. We analyze how the loading of split ring resonator superstrate and substrate can improve the bandwidth compared to the simple microstrip patch antenna and microstrip patch antenna loaded with split ring resonator superstrate. Another important observation is made for multiple split ring reso...

A common technique to realize wideband microstrip antenna is by introducing slots at an appropriate position inside the patch. In this communication a stacked configurated microstrip patch antenna with slots similar to ISI shape introduced on a square radiating patch with a microstrip line feed is presented. The slots introduced in the radiating patch of the proposed antenna increase the fringi...

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...
