Design of slotted patch antenna based on photonic crystal for wireless communication

Abstract

SummaryNowadays, the wireless communication is improved in numerous ranges, and the use of the high speed of data rate in the communication systems is needed. The standing problem of high‐performance planar antenna is reduced by the recently developed artificial dielectric called photonic crystal, which is used to control and manipulate the optical property of light. This paper addresses the slotted tube antenna structure, and the investigation is done by the concept of triangular lattice structure based on the photonic crystal. This utility enhances the return loss of −57.81 dB and the voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) of 1.002 at 2.37 THz operating frequencies. The increase in hole radius provides the shifting in zero dispersion point towards the shorter wavelength that helps for faster data rate transmission applications. Further, to characterize the model of the proposed antenna, the optimal value of the air hole, lattice constant value between holes and the thickness of the slot are found and the related parameters of such antenna are studied with the support of simulation software CST microwave studio.

Design of a High-Gain and Tri-Band Terahertz Microstrip Antenna Using a Polyimide Rectangular Dielectric Column Photonic Band Gap Substrate

“…Ullah et al designed a rectangular split ring air-hole PBG antenna with return loss reduced from −31.48 dB to −34.9 dB and gain increased from 6.86 dB to 6.884 dB at 0.696 THz compared to the homogeneous substrate THz microstrip antenna (H antenna) [28]. Elizabeth et al devised a PBG antenna by boring air holes with the array of the triangular lattice structure on a dielectric substrate and, compared with the H antenna, the return loss decreased from −25.64 dB to −57.81 dB and the directivity increased from 6.5 dB to 7.68 dB at 2.37 THz [29]. Kumar et al presented a periodic circular air-hole substrate THz microstrip antenna with return loss decreased from −20.745 dB to −44.71 dB and gain increased from 6.59 dB to 7.94 dB at 0.63 THz compared to the H antenna [30].…”
