Investigation of hexagonal ring microstrip antenna

Stubs and Slits Loaded Partial Ground Plane Inspired Novel Hexagonal Ring-Shaped Fractal Antenna for 5g/Lte/Rfid/GSM/Bluetooth/Wlan/Wimax Wireless Applications: Design and Measurement

“…Rathod et al [17] have demonstrated a low-profile antenna based on a hexagonal ring-shaped patch for biomedical application at 2.4 GHz ISM band. A microstrip hexagonal ring antenna has been investigated by Ray et al [18], and the proposed antenna exhibited the resonant frequency band at 2.035 GHz with the corresponding gain of 8.4 dB. Likewise, a hexagonal ring-shaped split ring resonator was introduced in the hexagonal ring-shaped patch by Daniel and Selvaraj [19], and the designed antenna resonated at 5.8 GHz with an impedance bandwidth of 1180 MHz.…”

“…By meticulously studying the above-said literature, the authors are motivated from the shapes of antenna discussed in [14][15][16][17][18][19], i.e., hexagonal ring-shaped radiating patch. The manuscript explains the hexagonal ring-shaped patch antenna, and further, amendments have been made in the patch's geometry and partial ground plane of antenna for improving its performance parameters such as impedance bandwidth, reflection coefficient, number of frequency bands, and gain.…”
