Stacked multiple slot microstrip patch antenna for wireless communication system

Abstract

A novel multiple slot microstrip patch antenna for wireless communication is proposed. This paper presents stacked probe fed inverted multiple slot microstrip patch antenna. The composite effect of integrating these techniques and by introducing the novel multiple shaped patch, offer a low profile, high gain, and compact antenna element. Simulated results for main parameters such as return loss, impedance bandwidth, radiation patterns and gains are also discussed herein. The study showed maximum achievable gain of about 11.44 dBi with simplicity in designing and feeding, can well meet for wireless communication system especially for base station. © 2008 IEEE.
