Optimization of a Wide-Band 2-Shaped Patch Antenna for Wireless Communications
Authors: , , ,
Abstract: A design of a novel single-patch wide-band microstrip antenna: the 2-shaped patch antenna for wireless communications is proposed. Two opposite parallel slots are incorporated into the patch of a microstrip antenna to expand it bandwidth. The slot length, width and height of substrate are optimized to achieve a wide bandwidth. Finally, a 2-shaped patch antenna, resonating at frequencies of 2.4 GHz, 2.65 GHz and 2.90 GHz and having a bandwidth of 26.84%, is designed and simulated by software HFSS (High Frequency Structure Simulation).
