Dual-Band Square Microstrip Patch Antenna for 4G/LTE and Wi-Fi Applications

Abstract

A dual-band, Square-shaped Microstrip Patch Antenna (SMPA) with two opposite corner cuts is proposed. The presented design is suitable for 4G/LTE and Wi-Fi applications as it resonates at 2.13GHz and 2.41GHz frequencies. The FR4 substrate with co-axial feed is used for fabrication and is simulated using CST software. The simulation result provides enhanced antenna specification of return loss (-42.64&-20.13) dB, bandwidth (62.7&89) MHz and percentage bandwidth (2.94&3.69) % than the conventional antenna prototype. Furthermore, a comparative study of simulated and experimental findings is analyzed in this manuscript. Keywords: Dual-band, return Loss, Bandwidth, Percentage Bandwidth, 4G/LTE, Wi-Fi
