Antenna operating in multiple frequency bands has driven the demand of antennas. The design of Quad band microstrip patch antenna to attain multiband with improved gain is described in this paper. Several slits and slots are introduced in the design process to allow a sole antenna to operate in multiple bands. FR-4 Epoxy is used as a substrate material due to its low cost and effectiveness than other substrates. The antenna is built and corresponding geometry is simulated in high frequency structure simulator (HFSS) tool which is based on finite element method (FEM). The operating frequencies of the proposed antenna are 1.8089 GHz (1.46-2.24GHz), 4.64 GHz (4.57-4.71GHz), 5.3867 GHz (5.29-5.44GHz) & 12.9778 GHz (11.36-15.3GHz) with a reflection coefficients observed -15.59dB, -16.55dB, -33.15dB, -25.07dB respectively. Wide bandwidths 0.7767GHz and 1.4GHz are observed for primary and quad bands, narrow bandwidths are observed for second and third resonant bands. The gains are observed as 14.97 dBi, 3.81 dBi, 4.48 dBi, 3.92dBi for the respective operating frequencies. The radiation characteristics are observed semi -omni directional and omni-directional for the resonant bands. This antenna can be used in satellite radio, aircraft surveillance and some radar applications.

“…ere are several advantages of using a Vivaldi antenna such as broadband characteristics, simple structure, small size, and easy manufacturing. In [7], an ultrawideband patch antenna with a U-shaped slot on the radiating patch is introduced for triband satellite applications. e operating frequency ranges of the proposed structure are 4.9 GHz-7 GHz, 7.92 GHz-11.08 GHz, and 11.85 GHz-15.94 GHz, and gain is varied from 2.3 to 4.5 dBi.…”

In this paper, a super wide band (SWB) Vivaldi antenna has been proposed for lower 5G bands in Sub-6 GHz and satellite applications (S, C, X, Ku, and K band) using various performance improvement techniques. In the presented Vivaldi antenna, different slots are applied not only to increase the gain and directivity but also to get operating frequency at the intended specific frequency range. All dimensions of those slots were chosen by using the sweep parameter method. Ten corrugated side slots, two circular slots, and one via have been used to enhance the performance especially bandwidth and gain of the antenna. At the edge of wireless communication, we want to enhance two key aspects within the communication systems: the quality of service and the cost. The proposed antenna incorporates a simple structure and small size with dimensions of 45 × 35 × 0.79 mm3. Thus, after design, optimization, and simulation, the antenna produces a good reflection coefficient over the very large operating bandwidth of 23.19 GHz, 1 < VSWR < 2, maximum gain of 10.2 dBi, and average radiation efficiency of above 90%, which can be recommended as a suitable antenna for lower 5G as well as satellite applications. The antenna is designed, simulated, and analyzed by using computer simulation technology microwave studio (CST-MWS). Finally, the performance of the Vivaldi antenna has been validated by FEKO and HFSS software, and we achieved a very good matching among the results.
