The aim of this investigation is to improve the performance of a basic microstrip antenna array using a tree structure patch supplied by electromagnetic coupling. The developed network which contains two subnets, a distribution subnet and a scanning subnet, is considered as a first step to design an adaptive microstrip antenna for UMTS use. The patch distribution structure used in this experime...

A simple, compact, slot loaded stacked wideband microstrip patch antenna is presented in this communication. The radiating element consists of a rectangular patch with a Tshaped slot and is fed by a 50 Ω microstrip line. The proposed antenna is simulated using IE3D software, 12.32 version of Zeland. The simulated results show that the antenna can exhibit wideband characteristics. The impedance ...

Analysis of aperture-coupled microstrip antennas with a superstrate using space domain closed form Green's functions is presented. Integral equations are derived from applying the boundary conditions on the radiating patch, across the aperture, and on the microstrip feedline. The computation of space domain green's functions is performed using the closed-form. The solution of the integral equat...

This paper presents a novel implementation of an electromagnetically coupled patch antenna using air gap filled substrates to achieve the maximum bandwidth. We also propose an efficient modeling technique using the FDTD method which can substantially reduce the simulation cost for modeling the structure. The simulated results have been compared with measurement to show the broadband behavio...

The variation of circular microstrip antenna, a Sectoral microstrip antenna is discussed. The detail analysis to study the effects of antenna parameters like, feed point location and the substrate thickness for Sectoral angle increasing from 270 to 340 on the patch first four resonant modes is presented. The variation in angle tunes the spacing between three patch resonant modes which yields op...

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.

Compact shorted 1350 Sectoral microstrip antenna derived from 2700 Sectoral microstrip antenna is proposed. On thicker air substrate (h > 0. 1?0) it yields bandwidth of more than 350 MHz (35%). To increase the bandwidth, its rectangular slot cut variation is proposed. The slot reduces the resonance frequency of higher order TM1/4,1 mode of the shorted patch and along with fundamental TM1/4,0 mo...
