The Development of Curved Microstrip Antenna With Defected Ground Structure

Abstract

Abstract-A series of curved microstrip antennae with defected ground structure for multiband are proposed, which are more smaller, conveniently conformal, wider radiation beam and suitable for WLAN terminal for different environment. The relation between the main geometry parameters and the antennas' characters are studied with the cavity model method and EM simulation, and the optimum size antenna is achieved later. If keeping the other parameters but increasing the curving angle α, the return loss is almost good at f = 2.45 GHz, but poor at f = 5.25 GHz and 5.8 GHz. After slight tuning the key parameters, these curved antennae all can work at f = 2.45 GHz, 5.25 GHz and 5.8 GHz, and their patterns in the plane that is vertical to the curve axes become more wider or even omnidirectional with the curving angle α increasing, which are verified by experiment, their measured gain are 2 dB-6.3 dB.

Performance Analysis of Microstrip Conformal Antenna Array and Effect of Mutual Coupling for Different Curvature

“…Grating lobes created due to the mutual coupling ant it suppressed by the evenly distribution of element over antenna surface or obtaining high element density. Roughly the spacing between the elements is half wavelength [21][22][23][24].…”

A Single-Feed Dual-Band Dual-Sense Circularly Polarized Microstrip Antenna

“…Microstrip antennas have advantages of low profile, light weight, and easy fabrication [12][13][14]. Compared to slot antennas, microstrip antenna has the attractive features of higher gain and unidirectional radiation pattern.…”

A Dual-Band Low-Profile Metasurface-Enabled Wearable Antenna for Wlan Devices

“…The Planar Inverted-F Antenna (PIFA) was used to be an ideal scheme for the wearable antenna design since it has the promising characteristics such as compactness, flexibility and multi-frequency [7,8]; however, the performance of SAR was substandard, and the impendence was easily be changed when loading by the human tissue. Alternatively, the Electromagnetic BandGap (EBG) and Artificial Magnetic Conductor (AMC) ground plane were introduced in the wearable antenna design [9,10]; such substrates can isolate the radiation field and body tissue, decreased the SAR dramatically, while these solutions still suffer from relatively large footprints, over-thick or low front to back (FB) ratios.…”
