Strip-line fed MicroPatch Antenna for Wideband Applications

摘要

A new type of micropatch antenna with novel vertical rhombus shaped slot (MPANVRS) is designed and developed for wideband applications. Multibands are obtained by etching novel rhombus slot on the copper patch surface. The proposed antennas are simple, cost effective and may find application in wireless applications of L, S, C & X band frequency range. The radiation patterns measured on microwave bench setup for the proposed antennas are found to be broadsided, linearly polarized and are similar to the pattern of conventional rectangular microstrip antenna (RMA). The antenna design procedure and results are presented and discussed.
