A compact planar multiband antenna operating at 2.65 (lower WiMAX)/5.20 (WLAN)/6.75/7.30 GHz (Satellite TV) is presented. The antenna consists of circular radiator in which a rectangular slot is etched out. Also, the circular radiator is loaded with a rectangular and two hook-shaped stubs to achieve multiband operations. The impedance matching at these bands is achieved by using two small square stubs placed inside the hook-shaped stubs. The antenna has an electrical dimension of 0.17λl x 0.17λl x 0.01λl at the lower frequency of 2.65 GHz. The antenna has S11<-10dB bandwidth of 3% (2.6-2.68GHz), 2.3% (5.12-5.24GHz), 1.2% (6.68-6.76GHz) and 1.37% (7.26-7.36GHz) in simulation and about 6.25% (2.48-2.64GHz), 2.24% (5.3-5.42GHz), 1.15% (6.92-7.00GHz) and 1.1% (8.04-8.12GHz) under measurement. The entire simulation analysis of the antenna is carried out using HFSS v.13.0.
In this paper, the performance of Microstrip Patch Antenna (MSPA) is analyzed by changing the substrate materials. MSPA is designed to operate with the fixed dimensions of ????????×????????×????.???????????????? for three substrate materials. A comparison has been done in terms of reflection coefficient (S11), gain, efficiency (η), radiation pattern and cost. The simulated results show very good performance with TLC substrate as compared to FR4 and RT Duroid by showing good radiation efficiency for all the three bands viz 7.0, 9.6 and 10.8 GHz with the efficiency of 99%, 99% and 96% respectively, stable radiation patterns, gain of 1.32, 1.81 and 2.0 dB. FR-4 and RT Duroid produces two bands each of 8.4/ 9.6 GHz and 11.1/12.0 GHz respectively which shows a gain of 1.29/1.36 dB for FR4 and 1.04/7.95 dB for RT Duroid along with efficiency of 68%/ 60% and 96%/96% respectively with acceptable bandwidth. The Antenna is simulated using HFSS simulator solution software.
