A Survey on Patch Antenna Bandwidth Enhancement through Feed Techniques and Novel Proximity Slot Coupling Approach

Abstract

Many applications of micro strip antenna are constricted by their innate narrow bandwidth. In this paper a survey on the different feeding technique, which are micro strip line feed, coaxial plane feed, proximity coupled feed and aperture couple feed, for wireless micro strip antenna is done. Micro strip line and coaxial probe feeds are contacting scheme, in which RF power directly to the radiating patch. Proximity and Aperture coupled feeds are non contacting schemes, in which electromagnetic field coupling is done to transfer power between the micro strip line and the radiating patch. In this paper, a new approach is projected to design inset feed micro strip antenna with slots in it to develop the antenna bandwidth. The input impedance matching method for antenna is predominantly vital for a feed technique. The design of slotted micro strip antenna on a substrate of thickness 11mm that give wideband features is based on embedding an inset look analogous proximity L shape feed to improve bandwidth. The Method of Moments (MOM) base IE3D software with the method of moment (MOM) ensemble has been used to in the circular patch performance comparison for the improvement of the impedance bandwidth and the power radiated with slots on the same physical dimensions.
