Abstract:This work aims to analyze the factors that influence the radiation properties of dualband microstrip antenna using periodic structures based on Photonic Band Gap with hexagonal symmetry. An increase in bandwidth and a reduction of return loss for the second operating band of the antenna were observed.
“…For this purpose, it was used as dielectric substrate the fiberglass (FR4), with relative permittivity ( ε r ) of 2.2, loss tangent ( δ ) of 0.005 and height ( h ) adopted of 1.58 mm. The PBG structure analyzed in this work consists of a mesh made up of 37 air holes arranged in a hexagonal geometry, which was chosen to allow minimizing the edge effects . In addition, with the aim of improving the performance of the reference antenna, were introduced defects in the substrate, through the inclusion of air holes distributed hexagonally, Figure (a), forming a PBG structure.…”

“…Microstrip antennas currently perform an important function in modern communication systems, being present in a wide range of applications with emphasis on aircraft, satellites and mobile communications systems . The rise of the use for this type of antenna, which has been motivated by the miniaturization required since the beginning of the space race, can be justified by the easy shaping the planar and non‐planar surfaces, simple construction, low cost and versatility in terms of resonance frequency.…”

“…A microstrip antenna is a resonant radiator, whose radiation field is produced by the electromagnetic field of mutual-motivation between the upper radiation patch edges of microstrip antenna and the grounding plate, and constantly radiates out electromagnetic waves through the gap between them [ 16 , 17 ]. The parameters of the antenna are the measure of the quality of the antenna.…”
Abstract:Wireless local area network (WLAN) is a technology that combines computer network with wireless communication technology. The 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency bands in the Industrial Scientific Medical (ISM) band can be used in the WLAN environment. Because of the development of wireless communication technology and the use of the frequency bands without the need for authorization, the application of WLAN is becoming more and more extensive. As the key part of the WLAN system, the antenna must also be adapted to the development of WLAN communication technology. This paper designs two new dual-frequency microstrip antennas with the use of electromagnetic simulation software-High Frequency Structure Simulator (HFSS). The two antennas adopt ordinary FR4 material as a dielectric substrate, with the advantages of low cost and small size. The first antenna adopts microstrip line feeding, and the antenna radiation patch is composed of a folded T-shaped radiating dipole which reduces the antenna size, and two symmetrical rectangular patches located on both sides of the T-shaped radiating patch. The second antenna is a microstrip patch antenna fed by coaxial line, and the size of the antenna is diminished by opening a stepped groove on the two edges of the patch and a folded slot inside the patch. Simulation experiments prove that the two designed antennas have a higher gain and a favourable transmission characteristic in the working frequency range, which is in accordance with the requirements of WLAN communication.
“…Several works in the literature used EBG to suppress harmonics or spurious, in microstrip antennas [8][9][10][11] or even to improve the performance of microstrip filters, through the suppression of spurious. [12][13][14] However, it is not known to the authors, the use of EBG for suppression or reduction of higher-order modes in FSS.…”
In this article, the authors present a proposal for the application of electromagnetic bandgap (EBG) for suppression of higher-order modes in frequency selective surfaces (FSS), not yet studied in the literature. The study consists of an application of a rectangular periodic array of circular holes in FSS dielectric substrate to create rejection bands and suppress specific resonant frequency modes. We built four prototypes and compared measured results with simulated results obtained with ANSYS HFSS and it completes the proposed equivalent circuit validation. Simulations and measurements show suppression levels up to 10 dB. A good agreement between the results is observed.
