Analytical study on the effect of dimension and position of slot for the designing of ultra wide band (UWB) microstrip antenna

This research paper presents a simple design consideration of Ultra-Wide Band (UWB) Microstrip antenna using a centrally loaded rectangular slot. An analytical study of the effects of different size and shapes of slots on the performance characteristic of UWB Microstrip antenna is presented. Insertion of slot and the changes in dimension of ground plane has a high impact on the behavior and parameter of the patch antenna. To improve the bandwidth of the patch antenna, proper insertion of slot on the planer patch structure has been used. In the paper 12mm by 15.6 mm rectangular patch antenna carved on FR4 substrate is presented. Both the simulated and the measured result show the operation of the antenna in the entire UWB range. This parametric study would be of a great interest in the designing of compact antennas for wireless communications operating in UWB.

Design of Broadband Monopole Microstrip Antenna Using Rectangular Slot

Microstrip antenna suffers from narrow bandwidth. The bandwidth would be enhanced by use of slot. Different sizes and shapes of slots on the patch are of great interest for obtaining optimum results in antenna design. A suitable dimension of the patch along with the position and dimension of the slot is critical in the broadening effect of the antenna.

This study also presents the choice of size and position of the slot for the broadband antenna. The simulations are conducted using HFSS and ADS, and results of the simulation studies are discussed in this paper.

Optimization of the dimension of circular slotted rectangular Microstrip antenna for wide band wireless applications

A stupendous growth in the area of Information technology is the spread of wireless wide band applications. The versatility of Microstrip patch antennas added new dimension to it. Its light weight and suitability for integration with microwave integrated circuits along with the simplicity of the structures marks it well suitable for low-cost manufacturing. All these accounts for the wide spread use of microstrip patch antennas in various wireless communication applications. In this paper a wide band rectangular shaped single-patch microstrip patch antenna with circular slot is proposed. Circular shaped slot over the rectangular patch is combined together to expand the bandwidth of the antenna. A compact size of 19 mm by 23 mm with duroid material is chosen for design. Optimization using HFSS simulation software is applied to optimize the structure of the antenna. The effect of circular slot is compared without the slot structure. It is observed that the bandwidth expands up to 0.7 GHz with a uniform radiation pattern.

Antenna Path Loss Propagation in the Dehradun Region at 1800 MHz in L-Band

A proper and good coverage is an important parameter in the planning of cellular network. Path loss models are crucial in the planning of wireless network as they assist in interference estimations, frequency assignments, and evaluation of cell parameters. This paper reports the results of the propagation path loss to a fixed height of antenna at 1800 MHz in the outskirts of Dehradun city in the state of Uttarakhand, India. The results shown in the paper are for propagation path loss considering Okumura–Hata model and Walfisch–Ikegami model in the implementation of a digital cellular system in the region on the outskirt of Dehradun. An analysis of co-channel interference is also presented. 1800 MHz falls in the L-band of SHF, and after 900 MHz band, this is the most favorable frequency band for mobile communication.
