This paper presents the increase in bandwidth of a Microstrip Antenna using a simple slotted structure fed by Microstrip line. The main aim of proposed work is to obtain a large bandwidth antenna with reduced size. The proposed microstrip antenna has a wide bandwidth covering the range from 1.806-2.978 GHz. By using simple Microstrip Line feed wide bandwidth of 48.99% has been achieved. The pro...

-Wide band truncated rectangular microstrip antenna with H slot loaded and defected ground plane structure is presented in this paper to increase the bandwidth. It is found that the impedance bandwidth of a microstrip antenna could be enhanced considerably when a defected ground structure is used .The band width of a truncated rectangular microstrip antenna with H slot is 21.2% whereas after ad...

The C-shaped microstrip antenna is a compact variation of rectangular microstrip antenna and it has smaller bandwidth as compared to the rectangular patch. In this paper, bandwidth of C-shaped microstrip antenna is first increased by using proximity feeding technique. Further gap-coupled configuration of two C-shaped microstrip antennas on thicker substrate is proposed. It gives bandwidth of mo...

Conventional microstrip antennas in general have a conducting patch printed on a grounded microwave substrate, and have the attractive features of low profile, light weight, easy fabrication, and conformability to mounting hosts [1]. However, mi-crostrip antennas inherently have a narrow bandwidth, and bandwidth enhancement is usually demanded for practical applications. In addition, applicatio...

The compact variation of equilateral triangular microstrip antenna, a shorted 600 Sectoral microstrip antenna is discussed. The proximity fed shorted 600 Sectoral microstrip antenna is proposed which gives simulated and measured BW of more than 700 MHz (>60%). To increase the bandwidth and gain, gap-coupled configuration two Shorted 600 Sectoral patches is proposed. It yields simulated and meas...

Here we made an attempt to maximize the gain of microstrip patch antenna. To achieve this we used microstrip circular patch antenna at 5.8 GHz frequency ISM Band Application. Single FSS (frequency selective surface) substrate is used to increase efficiency. Parameters are set accordingly and results of microstrip patch antenna with FSS layer and microstrip patch antenna without substrate later ...

Microstrip leaky-wave antenna fed by an aperture-coupled microstrip operating at K-band is presented. Using the aperture-coupled microstrip as a feeding structure can fully exploit the wideband characteristic of the microstrip leakywave antenna. The dimensions of the antenna are obtained from the calculation of the propagation characteristics. Measurement shows a bandwidth of 22% for VSWR < 2 :...

This paper describes the performance analysis of different feeding technique for wireless microstrip patch antenna i.e for wi-max applications. In this paper four types of feeding techniques (Microstrip line feed, coaxial probe feed, proximity coupled feed and aperture coupled feed) are used. From the four feeding techniques, microstrip line and coaxial probe feeds are contacting scheme, in whi...

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...
