Abstract

A single feed compact rectangular microstrip patch antenna for triple band application is presented in this paper. The proposed antenna has T slot on the patch and dumble shaped defected ground structure (DGS). To make the proposed antenna more efficient the optimization of the antenna design parameters have been done using HFSSs optometric. For the proposed antenna three resonant frequencies have been obtained at 2.30GHz, 5.15GHz and 6.64GHz with Bandwidth of 102Mz,216MHz and 353MHz return loss of -14.50db ,-59.10db and -44.25db respectively. The characteristics of the designed structure are investigated by using FEM based electromagnetic solver, HFSS. An extensive analysis of the return loss, gain and bandwidth of the proposed antenna is presented. The simple configuration and low profile nature of the proposed antenna leads to easy fabrication and make it suitable for the application in wireless communication systems. Mainly it is developed to operate in the WLAN, WiMAX & RADAR application.

1. Introduction

   Microstrip antennas are very attractive because of their low profile, low weight, conformal to the surface of objects and easy production. A large number of microstrip patches to be used in wireless applications have been developed [1-3]. Design of WLAN antennas also got popularity with the advancement of microstrip antennas [4-5]. Wireless local area network (WLAN) requires three band of frequencies: 2.4GHz (2400-2484MHz), 5.2GHz (5150-5350MHz) and 5.8GHz (5725-5825MHz).

   WiMax has three allocated frequency bands. The low band (2.5-2.69GHz), the middle band (3.2-3.8 GHz) and the upper band (5.2-5.8GHz).Tele communication via satellite and RADAR use the 4- 8GHz band of frequency. The size of antenna is

   effectively reduced by cutting slot in proper position on the microstrip patch. The use of DGS for size reduction of microstrip antenna, although its application have been reported for harmonic reduction [6], cross-polarization suppression [7] and mutual coupling reduction [8] in antenna arrays etc This paper presents the application of dumble shaped defected ground structure (DGS) in microstrip antenna for size reduction and to achieve useful multiband. While maintaining the antenna size, the broader operating bandwidth (BW)[9,10] is realized by cutting the slots of either half wave or

   quarter wave in length, having different shapes like U-slot, V-slot, L-slot, and a pair of rectangular slots

   inside the patch[11,12]. In this paper T-slot has been presented. The slot introduces a mode near the fundamental mode of the patch and realizes broadband response.

2. Antenna Design

   The design of the conventional antenna is shown in figure 1(a). The antenna has 29mm x 25mm rectangular patch. The dielectric material selected for this design with r =4.4 and substrate height=1.57mm.

   Figure 2(a). Conventional antenna Design

   The above antenna has been designed using the transmission line model. Where the transmission line model is most accurate. To design the conventional rectangular micro strip patch antenna that operates at frequency around 2.45GHz, the dimensions can be found using [3]:

   Design Specifications

   Step 1: Determination of the Width (W)

   The width of the Microstrip patch antenna is given by [3]

   the frequency of operation of RADAR-thats why it is multipurpose microstrip patch antenna.

   W = 37.26mm.

   Step 2: Determination of effective dielectric constant (reff).

   The effective dielectric constant is represented by [3]. By substituting r = 4.4, W = 36.26 mm and h = 1.57 mm, it can be determined that

   reff = 4.4.

   Step 3: Determination of the effective length (Leff) The effective length is given by [3]

   By substituting reff = 4.4, c = 3×10^8 m/s and f0 =

   2.45 GHz, it can determine that

   Leff = 29.126 mm.

   Step 4: Determination of the length extension (L) [3] The length extension may be represented by

   By substituting reff = 4.4, W = 36.26 mm and h =

   1.57 mm, it can be determined that

   L = 0.01634 mm.

   Step 5: Determination of actual length of patch (L): The actual length is obtained by using expression

   L = Leff -2L

   By substituting Leff = 29.126 mm and L = 0.01634 mm, the actual length can determined as

   L = 29.093 mm

   The actual length of the patch can be found using [3]: Now the patch antenna has been improved with the T- slot on the rectangular patch which is shown in figure2 (b) and the ground have been made defected with the dumble shaped defected ground structure as shown in figure 2(c). The dimension of T-slot as well

   as the dimension of the defected ground structure has been optimized to get the best result and a series of optimization has been done with HFSS optometric. The front view of the antenna shows the T-slot which is made by etching the patch. The defected ground structure has been made on the ground of the patch antenna which has dumble shape by etching the ground plane. The optimized antenna will work in the frequency range of 2-8GHz frequency band as it is shown in the figure 2(b) and 2(c) which covers the frequency of operation of WLAN, WiMAX, and wireless communication through satellite as well as

   Figure 2(b): Rectangular patch antenna (Front View)

   Figure 2(c): Ground of the antenna with DGS (Back View)

   The dimension of the slot T as well as the dimension of the defected ground structure has been optimized to get the best return loss as well as the best bandwidth. The Optimized dimension of T-slot is given below:

   Table: 1

   Dimension of the T-shaped slot on the patch(Vertical slot)	2mm,20mm
   Dimension of the T-shaped slot on the patch(Horizontal slot)	1mm,12mm

4. Conclusion

   Now from the above plots we can easily analyse the behaviour of the proposed antenna and hence we can analyse the Return loss as well as the bandwidth. The table4 below shows the analysed data.

   This shows that the proposed antenna is far better in terms of bandwidth and return loss as compared to the antenna in literatures [13]etc.

   Frequency(GHz)	2.30	5.15	6.64
   Return loss(db)	-14.50	-59.10	-44.25
   10db Bandwidth(MHz)	102	216	353

   Hence this antenna is a good candidate for

   applications where large bandwidth is required.
