U-Shaped Rectangular Patch Microstrip Antenna Element For Base Station Antennas
نویسندگان
چکیده
Abstract: In this paper, a new design for microstrip antenna element with U-shaped rectangular patch for sectored coverage of base station antennas of 900 MHz system is proposed for improving antenna performance in terms of gain and bandwidth. A superstrate or dielectric cover is used to protect the patch against environmental hazard. We have present also another solution using air dielectric as a superstrate, which is a much lighter and cheaper solution A green’s function based mixed potential integral equation in conjuction with the method of moments is implemented for the formulation and analysis of the microstrip structures. For this contribution, design aspects and the obtained simulated results for the proposed antenna are presented.

This paper presents a novel way for achieving endfire radiation pattern using microstrip patch antenna array. The extensively used microstrip patch antennas i.e. rectangular and circular microstrip patch antennas, either single patch or in an array configuration do not have an endfire radiation pattern. The antenna array presented in this paper is designed by changing the geometry of the antenn...
متن کاملBandwidth Improvement of Microstrip Patch Antenna Using H- Shaped Patch
Despite the many advantages of microstrip patch antennas, they do have some considerable drawbacks. One of the main limitations with patch antennas is their inherently narrowband performance due to its resonant nature. With bandwidth as low as a few percent; broadband applications using conventional patch designs are limited. So for the antenna miniaturization and bandwidth improvement H-shaped...

This paper presents a comparative study of rectangular base desktop shaped broadband patch antenna (Antenna1) and triangular base desktop shaped broadband patch antenna (Antenna2). Apart from base dimensions all parameters of both antennas are constant. The broadband characteristics are achieved by introducing two parasitic ground planes and notches are etched on the radiating patch. Both anten...

Computation of the broadband matching potential of a microstrip antenna requires the wideband lumped equivalent circuit of the antenna. The general topology of the equivalent circuit of rectangular microstrip patch antennas has been used to model the feedpoint impedance of microstrip antennas over a wide frequency band and equivalent circuit parameters are determined using optimization techniqu...
متن کاملMicrostrip Antenna Gain Enhancement using Near Zero Refractive Index Metamaterials
Some useful features of microstrip patch antennas are low profile, low weight and easy fabrication. However this type of antenna suffers from having a low gain, caused by propagation surface waves. In this paper, a new near zero refractive index metamaterial (MTM) unit cell is designed and fabricated as a superstrate over a Rectangular Microstrip Patch Antennas (RMPA). In order to obtain a maxi...
