Multiple bandwidth design of micro strip antenna for future wireless communication

Abstract

We have presented a design of multi-band micro strip antenna which is suitable for operating at a higher frequency and with moderate bandwidth also. Proper selection of dimension, patch, and position of feed is taken into consideration to achieve the target properties of the antenna. Different characteristics of antenna like return loss, VSWR, gain, directivity, and efficiency are verified for different frequencies. The maximum gain of the antenna is found to be more than 3dB at different frequencies and also achieves multiple bandwidths in the direction of max radiation. The proposed structure of the antenna is fabricated, simulated, and tested for obtaining the preferred performance in terms of S11, VSWR, gain and efficiency. The experimental results are verified with simulated results which are in good in accord. Proposed antenna bandwidth is found to be 200MHz to 700 MHz with frequency band from 5.70 GHz to 12.60 GHz.
