“…The synthesised antenna has satisfactory performances over the ITU-RS.1068-1994 band from 13.75 to 14 GHz which is commonly used for satellite communication. The good results show that compared with the existing feeders [21,22] this example provides a better solution for the feeder of a parabolic reflector antenna used in satellite communications and serves as another contribution in this paper.…”

The pattern synthesis based on the spectral Green's functions for multi‐layered perforated dielectric loaded patch antenna is presented. It is conducted by optimising the dielectric superstrate parameters, i.e. relative permittivity (εr) and thickness. To solve the problem of the optimised εr unavailable from market, perforated dielectric superstrate (PDS) is utilised. The equivalence between PDS and homogeneous dielectric superstrate (HDS) in spectral domain is investigated and the effective relative permittivity (εreff) of PDS is studied. Moreover, by introducing εreff, the general optimisation procedure for HDS loaded antenna is also applicable for PDS loaded antenna, which reduces the computational cost significantly. To validate their method, a two‐layer PDS loaded patch antenna with E/H beamwidth equalisation was designed, fabricated and measured. Simulations and measurements show that the synthesised antenna has satisfactory performances over the ITU‐RS.1068‐1994 band from 13.75 to 14 GHz. The half 10 dB E/H beamwidths of 19°/20°, −27 dB cross polarisation and −15.5 dB side lobe level have been achieved.

In this research paper a design of Microstip patch antenna for the ultra-wide band (UWB) applications is presented. Ultra wide band antennas has very wide band of operation which accommodates many communication frequencies as set by the federal commission of communication. The UWB antennas is based on the micro strip patch antenna concept and the design of the antenna is based on the stack antenna or multi-layer antenna. Stacking is used in designing for increasing the bandwidth of the antenna so stacking concept is good for the designing of the UWB antenna. The feeding used to feed the antenna is micro strip line feed. Micro strip line feeding technique is one of very popular feeding technique to feed the antenna because its fabrication is very simple. The proposed design is simulated in the CADFEKO software which is very useful for the design and analysis of a wide range of electromagnetic problem. It has many applications to simulate 3D electromagnetic circuit included antenna design, micro strip antenna and circuits. The simulation results shows the antenna bandwidth of 13.9 GHz from 2.6 to 16.5 GHz. So we can clearly say that the antenna is ultra-wide band in nature.

“…A single feed microstrip yagi antenna proposed in [11] provided simulation results for mm-wave antenna and reported scaled version measured prototype of 5.2 GHz antenna has 10.7 dBi gain with 10% (S11 < −10 dB) bandwidth. A stacked annular patch for Ku-band satellite communication is reported in [12]. Reported antenna with 2.2λ ground plane (56 mm, center frequency 11.95 GHz) has 4% -10 dB reflection bandwidth and max gain around 12 dB at 12 GHz.…”

This article describes a unique dual polarized antenna using stacked patches to increase gain similar as dipole array by Yagi-Uda. The antenna structure is very simple and useful for many wireless application where high gain is essential from single RF feed. Increasing gain by optimizing Yagi-Uda antenna director spacing and length are well studied topics where tradeoff is made between bandwidth and maximum gain. The key design uniqueness of the presented antenna is dual polarized feed patch antenna with higher gain and wider bandwidth. A detail step by step optimization technique for a 7GHz high gain stack patch antenna with 650 MHz bandwidth is described. Measured realized maximum gain is over 12 dBi with 4 directors. Simulation and measured results are compared. Simple stacking and feed method of the proposed high gain antenna will give easy manufacturing capability of this antenna and could be good candidate for millimeter and sub-millimeter wave RF system.
