Abstract

An ultra-wideband microstrip fed patch antenna with a defective ground surface is presented in this paper. The above-mentioned antenna comprises a T-slot in the ground plane and a Pi-slot in a rectangular patch. The proposed antenna is developed and modeled using the High-Frequency Structure Simulation tool on an RTDuroid 5880 substrate with a thickness of 1.6 mm and a dielectric constant of 2.2. A T-shaped defect is carved in the ground plane to enhance the antenna’s radiation properties, gain, and bandwidth. A conventional Pi-slotted patch antenna operating at 9.74 GHz with a return loss of 19.7 dB is designed, followed by an ultra-wideband antenna embedded with a T-slot in the partial ground surface operating from 7.15 GHz to 10.925 GHz with an impedance bandwidth (S11 < −10 dB) of 3.775 GHz. It showcases exceptional characteristics with a peak gain of 6.99 dBi at 8.95 GHz. A satisfactory agreement is found between the experimental data and simulation results. The proposed Pi-slot patch antenna with the defective ground has applications in radar, satellite, weather monitoring, and vehicle speed detection for law enforcement.
