Abstract
A structure shaped substrate wideband microstrip patch antenna fed by coplanar waveguide (CPW) is proposed for wireless applications. Structure shaped substrate is produced by cutting the rectangle shape substrate in the form of a semicircular disc. The radiating patch of proposed antenna is taken in the form of U-shape. The ground plane is extended towards both sides of radiator for reducing the size of the antenna. The proposed antenna is simulated by Ansoft's High Frequency Structure Simulator (HFSS). A good agreement is observed between simulated and measured results. The prototype is taken with dimensions 24 mm × 24 mm ×1.6 mm that achieves wide bandwidth, constant group delay and good radiation patterns over the entire operating bandwidth from 3.4 to 9.4 GHz (6.0 GHz) with 93.7% impedance bandwidth at 6.4 GHz center frequency. Thus, the proposed antenna is applicable for C band applications.
Highlights
With the fast development in wireless communication, the demand for devices that can operate for wideband has increased [1-4]
[7], M shape [8], A shape [9], rhombus shape [10] etc. are used till for getting wideband. Along with these different types of shapes researchers work on numerous techniques and structures for getting wideband such as coplanar waveguide (CPW)-fed technique and defected ground structure for getting wideband [11
This paper is highly motivated from above reported papers and a novel wideband microstrip antenna with structure shaped substrate is proposed and designed for wireless applications
