A Microstrip Patch Antenna with Defected Ground Structure for Triple Band Wireless Communications

Abstract

In this article, a triple band microstrip antenna is designed and developed. The rectangular patch is loaded with slots and the ground is made defective for achieving triple band operation. The proposed design is optimized and simulated using CST microwave studio simulator. The optimized structure of the proposed design for triple mode operates at 1.2 GHz, 2.45 GHz and 5.6372 GHz. The prototype of the proposed antenna is developed and measured. The simulated and measured results are presented. Various antenna patterns such as reflection coefficient, E-plane and H-plane radiation patterns, gain, directivity etc are presented and discussed. The reflection coefficient plot of the proposed antenna both in simulation and in measurement confirms the triple band characteristics. The maximum gain and maximum directivity of the antenna are 6.307 dB and 7.279 dBi, respectively. The proposed antenna is suitable for wireless video transmission, wireless security systems, industry, scientific and medical (ISM) radio, and wireless local area networks (WLANs) applications.

Design and Analysis of a Dual-Band Microstrip Patch Antenna for Sub-6 GHz Applications

“…It comes in various forms, such as microstrip transmission lines, coaxial cables, and waveguides, selected based on factors like operational frequency and design requirements. Critical attributes of the feed line include proper impedance matching, minimal losses, and isolation to uphold peak antenna performance [16]. In this microstrip antenna design, the feed line is typically realized as a microstrip transmission line with a 50Ω characteristic impedance, where its dimensions, including width, length, and placement relative to the radiating element, are carefully tailored.…”

“…A major drawback of these antennas is their low gain and narrow bandwidth which provides a great challenge in their usage. The use of the defected ground structure which when integrated with the patch antenna provided an effective technique in improving the radiation properties of the radiating structure [ 4 ]. The study is further extended in which it is suggested that the use of the stub loaded patch antenna helps in achieving the miniaturization [ 5 ].…”
