Gain and Bandwidth Enhancement in Compact Microstrip Antenna
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the present work, a new compact microstrip patch antenna has been proposed in stacked configuration. The characteristics of the antenna are obtained in terms of return loss, gain and bandwidth and are compared with the conventional microstrip patch. It is observed that the new proposed configuration reduces the patch area by 66.34% and at the same time enhances the gain and bandwidth significantly with superstrate loading. The Genetic Algorithm optimizer built in with IE3D Commercial simulator is used to obtain the optimized performance of the proposed antenna. This antenna is found to be suitable for IEEE 802.11b WLAN communication standard.

Compact CPW-fed Circular Patch Antenna for UWB Applications
In this paper, a novel CPW-fed antenna is presented for UWB applications. The antenna mainly comprises of a simple circular patch and a modified ground plane. The inclusion of two novel symmetrical rectangular slots with inner area of 3×2.8 mm2 to the top corners of the antenna creates a new path for the current and consequently leads to the bandwidth enhancement. A rectangular stub is also ado...

In this paper, we propose a new compact quasi-fractal shaped microstrip antenna that consists of a hexagonal patch as the main radiator and a complementary stacked patch as the parasitic element. The overall surface of the proposed quasi-fractal patch is about 55% lower than the conventional hexagonal patch. Using of stacked technique, the gain reduction of compression technique is almost compe...

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...
