Design analysis and performance evaluation of annulus patch antennas

Abstract

The paper presents a detailed investigation of various types of circular ring patch antennas and their importance in Wireless Communications, especially under satellite Frequency Applications. The main focus is considered on the typical resonant frequencies, design parameters, theoretical foundations on the shape, equivalent circuits and various applications of the ring patch antennas. Design, simulation and comparison of different structures of patches with annulus patch were also presented to justify the investigation.
