Gain and Bandwidth Enhancement Techniques in Microstrip Patch Antennas - A Review
نویسندگان
چکیده
Today antenna designers are paying more focus on microstrip patch antennas, because of its numerous advantages in field of communication, such as high reliability, light weight, ease of fabrication etc. But despite of its bountiful advantages, patch antennas also experience some drawbacks viz low gain and narrow bandwidth. These drawbacks can be overcome by taking care of some parameters in the design of antennas. There are numerous designing factors affecting the radiating characteristics of antenna such as patch height, feeding techniques, substrate used in manufacturing of antenna etc. The paper is focused on various bandwidth enhancement techniques. The paper comprises of a brief study in feeding techniques, parasitic patch elements, introduction of slots, dual feed, shorting pin, air gap and recently introduced concept of defective ground structure that enhances the gain and bandwidth of antenna without increasing its height.

متن کاملComplementary Split Ring Resonator Effects on Radiation Pattern Reconfigurable Circular Microstrip Antennas
In this study, a radiation pattern reconfigurable microstrip antenna is designed and fabricated. The antenna’s radiation pattern is directed in 9 different angles by employing a radiating patch and embedding complementary split ring resonators (CSRR) on the ground plane. The radiating patch is of circular shape, while for CSRR elements both circular and rectangular shapes are investigated. The ...
