Abstract
This paper analyses the influence of microstrip antenna arrays designed for a frequency of 2.5 GHz, aiming at applications in wireless communications. From a standard antenna with circular patch, elements are introduced to obtain linear and circular array, since arrays are interesting, whenever it want high gains. While the linear arrays are simple and practical, circular arrays can provide better symmetry. In case of the circular array, this also is considered with truncated ground plane, which shows applicable UWB communications. The prototypes are built and measured data are compared with the simulated data showing a good agreement.
Highlights
Among the various types of antennas, one of the most used types due to its characteristics for application in modern communication systems are microstrip antenna [1]
Continuing a series of studies, this paper presents the results of the influence of a linear array with two elements and a circular array with four elements, where these elements are all circular
In case of the circular array, this is considered with truncated ground plane
Summary
Among the various types of antennas, one of the most used types due to its characteristics for application in modern communication systems are microstrip antenna [1]. Among the advantages of microstrip antennas, it can highlight: ease of shaping the flat and non-flat surfaces, simple construction, low cost, versatility in terms of the resonance frequency, polarization, impedance and radiation pattern. These kinds of antennas have some disadvantages, such as low efficiency, low power, low directivity and small bandwidth (of a few percent) [2]. The circular array has applications in radar, sonar, spread underground and many others. These arrays have been proposed for wireless communications and in particular to smart antennas [4]
