Extended Bandwidth Microstrip Circular Patch Antenna for Dual Band Applications

Abstract

This paper presents a new wideband microstrip circular patch antenna (MCPA) fed by proximity-coupled line with double-stub matching to achieve dual-band operation. Bandwidth extension is achieved by exciting higherorder modes in the circular radiating patch, and using two stubs to achieve adequate matching across the obtained two bands. The characteristics of the antenna such as reflection coefficient, impedance bandwidth, gain and radiation pattern are investigated and optimized through parametric studies using the CST Microwave Studio Suite. The antenna achieved a large relative bandwidth of 45.16% at the upper band, while the lower one has 10.3% relative bandwidth. The maximum achieved gain of the dual-band antenna in the 5.8GHz band is 4.62dBi while it is 4.85dBi in the upper band. The antenna has an overall size of 30×30×3.2mm3 corresponding to 0.58λ × 0.58 λ × 0.062 λ at the lower band of 5.8 GHz. The proposed antenna should be useful for WLAN and X-band communication systems.

Aperture coupling rectangular slotted circular ring microstrip patch antenna

“…To simplify the process of designing the antenna, should be determined the systematic measures in the form of a flowchart described in Figure 1. The patch that is used in this paper is circular ring showed in Figure 2 which is a development of circular patch that is known to be good for enhancing the bandwidth [13] and multi-resonating frequencies application [14], where the radius dimension of radiating element can be calculated by the [15]. To bring an enhancement for the antenna, there will be using one of the popular method in modifying the coupling level of antenna by applying aperture coupled feeding technique.…”
