In very high frequency performances such as spacecraft, satellite & missile applications where the size, weight, cost, performance, ease of installation & aerodynamic profile are constraints microstrip antennas (MA) are used to meet these requirements. In spite of limitations such as small bandwidth, low gain and low power handling capability, microstrip antenna offers good performance over oth...

The compact microstrip antenna is realized by placing shorting post or plate along the zero field line at the fundamental mode of the patch. In this paper, compact variation of circular microstrip antenna, a shorted 90 sectoral microstrip antenna is discussed. It gives a bandwidth of more than 300 MHz at center frequency of around 1000 MHz. Further a new 90 sectoral microstrip antenna, realized...

The communication devices utilized the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. The electromagnetic spectrum outside the visible region has been employed for communication by the use of radio wave. A two port Square Microstrip Patch Antenna is investigated in this paper. The antenna was designed for operating in S band (2 – 4 GHz) frequency range with a circular polarization. Microstrip patch a...

A Microstrip Patch Antenna is a type of radio antenna with a low profile, which can be mounted on a flat surface. It is a narrowband, wide-beam fed antenna fabricated by etching the antenna element pattern in metal trace bonded to an insulating dielectric substrate such as a printed circuit board with a continuous metal layer bonded to the opposite side of the substrate which forms a ground pla...

Abstract: In this microstrip antenna design multi frequencies are used. Here working frequencies are 1.9 GHz and 2.0 GHz. Rectangular patch shape technique is used for designing this microstrip antenna. In our model electric field lines, conductance and input resistance have obtained by transmission line model whereas charge distribution, directivity and gains have brought by cavity model of re...

---This paper proposes a technique which improves Directivity and control of Beam-Steering by including metamaterial surfaces onto microstrip patch antenna superstrate used for wireless communication applications. Metamaterials are designed with Artificial Magnetic Conductor (AMC), inductive and capacitive planar structures. These structures allow obtaining Partially Reflective Surfaces (PRS). ...

The multi-band microstrip antennas are realized by cutting more than one slots at an appropriate position inside the patch or by placing the open circuit stub on the edges of the patch or by using the combination of slots and stub. In this paper, an analysis to study the multi-band response in stub loaded two half U-slot cut rectangular microstrip antenna is presented. The first half U-slot in ...

In the present work, a new compact microstrip patch antenna has been proposed in stacked configuration. The characteristics of the antenna are obtained in terms of return loss, gain and bandwidth and are compared with the conventional microstrip patch. It is observed that the new proposed configuration reduces the patch area by 66.34% and at the same time enhances the gain and bandwidth signifi...
