Multiband Rectangular Ring Microstrip Antenna For UWB Wireless Applications

The document describes the design of a rectangular ring microstrip antenna for ultra-wideband wireless applications between 3.1-10.6 GHz. The antenna was designed to operate at three resonant frequencies - 4.49 GHz, 6.17 GHz, and 9.64 GHz. Simulation results showed return losses less than -24 dB and bandwidths of 13.5%, 24.42%, and 6% respectively at the three frequencies. The antenna also exhibited efficiencies over 95% and gains over 5 dBi across the operating band, making it suitable for UWB applications.

Abstract In this paper, we have designed rectangular ring micostrip antenna for UWB
(3.1 GHz10.6 GHz) wireless applications. The beauty of this antenna is the use of single patch which make it easy to fabricate consequently cost of antenna becomes cheaper. We have designed tri-band antenna which have resonance frequency 4.49 GHz, 6.17 GHz and 9.64 GHz and this antenna have 13.5%, 24.42%, and 6% impedance bandwidth respectively. Return loss at all three centre frequency have less than 24 dB. And antenna eciency at all center frequencies are more than 95%. All simulations have been done using IE3D v.12 which is based on method of moment. 1. INTRODUCTION

Microstrip patch antennas are widely used because of there many merits such as the low prole, light weight, low cast and planar also. However patch antenna have a disadvantage of narrow bandwidth typically 15% impedance bandwidth. Researchers have made many eorts to overcome this problem and many congurations have been presented to increase the bandwidth [14]. Many congurations while increase the bandwidth but it also increase the production cast of antenna due to misalignment of stacked patches. To overcome misalignment problem, we have to use lesser no of patches. In this paper we have design antenna using only single radiation patch which make it easier to fabricate consequently antenna becomes cheaper. We have use coaxial probe feed technique which create inductive reactance to compensate inductive impedance, we use capacitive patch. And coaxial probe are connected with capacitive patch [24].
2. ANTENNA DESIGN AND DISCUSSION

Antenna which can work in more than one frequency region either for transmitting or receiving electromagnetic (EM) waves are termed as Multiband Antenna. Such antenna are usually used for dual-band, tri-band, quad-band and penta-band application [59]. Using only single antenna in the multi signal band is better than using the each antenna element in the separate way. Here we have design proposed antenna using IE3D v.12 simulator which are based on method of moment and moment method is very accurate than its counter part FDTD but its take more memory. Parameters used for design of proposed antenna are given below. Width of the radiator patch (W ) = 25.5 mm. Length of the radiator patch (L) = 15.5 mm. Length of the feed strip (s) = 3.7 mm. Width of the feed strip (l) = 1.2 mm. Separation of the feed strip from the patch (d) = 0.5 mm. Air gap between substrates (g) = 6.0 mm. Relative dielectric constant (r ) = 3.0. Thickness of substrate (h) = 1.56 mm. Blank inner square area = 10 10 mm2 . Here, two type of rectangular patches are used, one patch are rectangular ring and other are small rectangular patch. Rectangular ring patch is used for radiation and small rectangular patch is used for coaxial probe feed. Length (L) and width (W ) of rectangular ring patch is 15.5 mm and 25.5 mm. Length and width the feed strip is 3.7 mm and 1.2 mm. Above innite ground plane, there is air gap of thickness 6.0 mm which have dielectric constant 1.07 and loss tangent 0.0009. A substrate having dielectric constant 3.0 cover air gap and thickness and loss tangent of substrate is 1.56 mm and 0.0013. Over substrate rectangular ring patch and feed stip patch are sited. Blank inner square area is 10 10 mm2 . Coaxial probe feed is used for excitation of antenna. Separation of rectangular ring from feed is 0.5 mm. Figure 1 shows cross-sectional and top view of Rectangular Ring Microstrip Antenna. Figure 2 shows return loss of antenna with dierent frequencies. From Figure 2 we can see that return loss at all center frequencies are less than 10 dB. At center frequency 4.49 GHz return loss is

33.36 dB (BW = 13.5%), at center frequency 6.17 GHz return loss is 24.25 dB (BW = 24.42%) and at center frequency 9.68 GHz is 32.27 dB (BW = 6%). Figure 3 shows VSWR variation with frequency for antenna. At all center frequencies, value of VSWR is less than 2.0. Figure 4 shows 2D Radiation pattern of antenna at dierent center frequencies which also give satisfactory result. Figure 5 shows eciency of antenna at dierent frequencies. At all center frequencies antenna eciency are more than 95% i.e., at center frequency 4.49 GHz antenna eciency is 95%, at center frequency 6.17 GHz antenna eciency is 96.29% and at center frequency 9.68 GHz antenna eciency is 99.23. Figure 6 shows antenna gain with frequency. At all center frequency antenna gain is more than 5 dBi i.e., at center frequency 4.49 GHz antenna gain is 6.88 dBi, at center frequency 6.17 GHz antenna gain is 6.82 dBi and at center frequency 9.68 GHz antenna gain is 5.29. Figure 7 shows 3D radiation pattern of antenna at center frequencies 4.49 GHz, 6.17 GHz and 9.68 GHZ. All above result are quit satisfactory for UWB wireless application use.
