Compact Double-P Slotted Inset-Fed Microstrip Patch Antenna on High Dielectric Substrate

الملخص EN

This paper presents a compact sized inset-fed rectangular microstrip patch antenna embedded with double-P slots.

The proposed antenna has been designed and fabricated on ceramic-PTFE composite material substrate of high dielectric constant value.

The measurement results from the fabricated prototype of the antenna show −10 dB reflection coefficient bandwidths of 200 MHz and 300 MHz with center resonant frequency of 1.5 GHz and 4 GHz, respectively.

The fabricated antenna has attained gains of 3.52 dBi with 81% radiation efficiency and 5.72 dBi with 87% radiation efficiency for lower band and upper band, respectively.

The measured E- and H-plane radiation patterns are also presented for better understanding.

Good agreement between the simulation and measurement results and consistent radiation patterns make the proposed antenna suitable for GPS and C-band applications.
