Abstract

This paper proposed a simple T-shaped patch antenna for millimeter waveband frequency operation. Millimeter wave is a frequency ranges between 30GHz to 300GHz in an electromagnetic spectrum. The proposed antenna consists of T-shape radiating patch mounted on rectangular substrate (FR4-4) and microstrip line for antenna feeding. An evolutionary algorithm called particle swarm optimization was used to optimize the length and width of the proposed antenna patch. The proposed antenna gives triple bands with central frequencies at 42GHz, 51.5GHz and 60GHz. The antenna offers minimum return loss of -19db, -24db and -19.5db at 42GHz, 51.5GHz and 60GHz respectively. The return loss impedance bandwidth of 5GHz for the first band, 8.4GHz for the second band and 5GHz for the third band was obtained. The proposed antenna was analyzed using Ansoft High Frequency Structure Simulator (HFSS) and MATLAB 2013. Radiation characteristics of this patch antenna are observed at various resonating frequencies.  http://dx.doi.org/10.4314/njt.v36i3.33
