A new small high-gain wideband rectangular patch antenna is proposed in this paper. The antenna has a simple structure where the dimensions are about 11 mm by 7 mm by 1.58 mm leading to a good bandwidth. The antenna structure is optimized and simulated using electromagnetic commercial software, and the measured bandwidth defined by return loss <−10 dB is 1.97 GHz from 10.94 to 12.91 GHz for simulated results and 2.75 GHz covering from 10.8 to 13.55 GHz for measured results using vector network analyser. The gain is up to 4.91 dBi with a good radiation pattern. The comparison between simulation and measurement results permits to validate the structure of the proposed antenna. The low expenses of this profile and its simple configuration allow for an easy fabrication process, with usability in many applications such as radar, satellite and wireless communication.
ARTICLE HISTORY
Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women. It has the highest incidence rate and the highest mortality rate. In recent years, the incidence of breast cancer has become more and more important, it is becoming the first tumor killer for women around the world. Early diagnosis is the most important parameter for detecting cancerous tissue to prevent serious consequences. In this electronic paper, we present a new design of an ultra-wide-band circular microstrip patch antenna operating in the recommended FCC band GHz]) for the detection of breast tumors. The antenna is printed on an FR4 epoxy substrate with a dielectric permittivity r = 4.4 and loss tangent tan δ = 0.02. The results obtained are largely satisfying and prove that the proposed antenna is a candidate for biomedical applications.
<div class="WordSection1"><p>This paper presents a candidate ultra wideband antenna for Ku-band wireless communi- cations applications, analyzed and optimized by the finite element method (FEM). This three-dimensional modeling was realized and compared with published antennas for val- idate the performances of the proposed antenna. Its design is based on the insertion o fseveral symmetrical slots of different sizes on the ground plane of a mono-layer patch antenna to overcome the main limitation of the narrow bandwidth of patch antennas. The proposed antenna, made on an FR-4 epoxy mono-layer substrate with a defected ground plane (dielectric constant <em>ε</em><em>r </em>= 4,4, loss tangent <em>tan δ </em>= 0,02 and thickness <em>hs </em>= 1.6 mm). The simulated numerical results obtained are very satisfying; Bandwidth = 10.48 GHz from <em>f</em>1 = 9.34 GHz to <em>f</em>2 = 19.82 GHz, <em>S</em>11 = -34.17 dB, Voltage Stationary Wave Ratio VSWR = 1.04 , Gain = 6.27 dB.</p></div>
