This article describes the design of single microstrip rectangular patch antenna and 1x1 microstrip rectangular patch antenna arrays operating at 2.4 GHz. Simulation result shows that 5.199 dB and 7.84 dB gain can achieved at frequency 2.4 GHz. Also simulation result show that the return loss is 18.809 at 2.360 GHz in 1x1 microstrip antenna array and current distribution and 3D radiation patter...

A single layer, single feed compact slotted patch antenna is thoroughly simulated in this paper. Resonant f requency has been reduced drastically by cutting three equal slots which are same hexagonal structure at the upper right, upper left and lower left corner from the conventional microstrip patch antenna. It is shown that the simulated results are in acceptable agreement. More importantly, ...

In this paper a microstrip antenna on a suspended substrate with capacitive feed is presented. capacitive feed is created by a slot within the rectangular patch around the feed point. The proposed antenna exhibits a much higher impedance bandwidth of about 47% (S11 < −10 dB). Effects of key design parameters such as the air gap between the substrate and the ground plane, the gap width between r...

The microstrip patch is one of the most preferred antenna structures for ofordable and compact design for wireless system and RF applications. This paper compares the rectangular patch antenna and equilateral triangular microstrip antenna in terms of their return losses and radiation pattern. For the comparative study the Ansoft HFSS V11 is used. Keywords— rectangular micro strip antenna, retur...

This paper describes a beam scanning antenna loading a movable dielectric plate on a microstrip comb-line antenna. This antenna uses the mechanical system that has the characteristic of an easy structure as well as low costs. The comb, a radiation element, is connected to a microstrip line. The beam direction of the proposed antenna changes according to phase shifts of the microstrip line movin...

Abstract: Microstrip antenna is low coast, light weight, and easy to connect with the electric circuit, but it have some drawbacks such as low bandwidth and low gain. In this paper planar microstrip antenna is proposed to enhanced gain and bandwidth. The new design is have modified ground plane and periodic patch. The bandwidth and gain are enhanced, when compared with the traditional rectangul...

381 Abstract— A monopole triangular shaped, broadband, compact microstrip patch antenna with shorting pin is presented in this paper. By defecting the ground plane bandwidth of 38.7% with respect to center frequency of a Microstrip patch antenna has been achieved which can be used for WLAN application. 82.4% size reduction has also been achieved by using shorting pin of a microstrip patch anten...

A single layer monpole slotted patch antenna is thoroughly simulated in this paper. Resonant frequency has been reduced drastically by cutting three equal slots which are same hexagonal structure at the upper right, upper left, lower left corner and a circle at the center from the conventional microstrip patch antenna. It is shown that the simulated results are in acceptable agreement. More imp...

A set of hybrid microstrip patch and semi-circular cavity antennas is introduced. The semi-circular cavity is implemented using Half-mode Substrate Integrated Waveguide (HMSIW) technique. Different shapes of patch include rectangular, semi-circular and equilateral triangular are excited using proximity effect by the circular SIW cavity at its TM010 mode of operation. The whole structures have b...
