Abstract
An arrangement of orthogonally aligned antennas over two planes of a substrate is designed in this paper. The design is a novel miniaturized cognitive model operating at LTE, C-band and X-band with sufficient band stop notch. The antenna is etched over a 0.8 mm thick FR-4 Epoxy substrate of dimension 15 mm x 15 mm. On one side the antenna is a hexagonal slotted microstrip antenna and on the other side is a partial CPW type hexagonal patch antenna. The top hexagonal patch antenna is a wide band from 1800 MHz to 12000 MHz. With the use of a slot on the patch creates one notch from 2240 MHz to 5090 MHz and another notch is created at 6200 MHz to 8100 MHz. Thus, the working bands comprise of LTE 1900, Wi-Fi 5G and X-band under a single polarization. Similarly, the second antenna has its first resonance at LTE 1900 and the second resonance at X-band with a polarization orthogonal to the antenna at top. Being a miniaturized antenna, the cognitive radio provides gain ranging from 2.0 dB at lower frequency to 5.4 dB at higher frequency. The isolation over the operating bands suggests non-interference between the antennas.
