Radiation Bandwidth Enhancement of Aperture Stacked Microstrip Antennas

Abstract

The radiation pattern of aperture stacked patch (ASP) antennas is improved. In the proposed geometry, the patch shape is designed such that the effective propagation constant of the antenna is decreased and therefore pattern degradation due to higher order modes is eliminated. The results show that the operational bandwidth of the proposed structure is increased from 68% to 76% compared to the traditional ASP.Index Terms-Microstrip antennas, radiation bandwidth.

Novel 60 GHz CPW array antennas with beam-forming features for indoor wireless over fiber networks

“…In order to further improve the desired bandwidth characteristics limited by the high permittivity two types of 1×8 CPW linear arrays are designed incorporating stacked geometry for bandwidth enhancement [7]. In this case two types of substrates are investigated: The first one utilizes Rogers 6010 substrate and the second one InP substrate.…”

A novel performance diversity modified elliptical patch antenna for C‐band applications

“…Over the recent decades, performance improvement of microstrip antennas play a great attention among the research community and multiple techniques have been proposed to enhance the performance parameters such as gain , bandwidth , efficiency , and directivity of microstrip antennas with a compact size. Gain of the antenna can be improved by using frequency selective surface (FSS) reflector , hybrid substrates , negative permeability meta material , etc.…”

Bandwidth parameter enhanced by various techniques such as loading slots on to the patch , stacked patches , metasurface , coplanar waveguide feed , and slots with parasitic patches . The proper elevation of edges of the patches can improve the radiation efficiency significantly .…”

Improving bandwidth of planar microstrip patch array antennas

“…The focus of our current investigation is to develop microstrip patch antennas with wideband performance and small unit-cell dimensions suitable for array applications. The stacked patch antenna concept [5][6] is the most widely prescribed solution for achieving wideband performance. However, in this paper, the focus rests on achieving wideband operation with a single layer radiating patch, more specifically with slot-loaded patch antennas.…”
