A Double Inverted F-Shape Patch Antenna for Dual-Band Operation

Abstract EN

A double inverted F-shape patch antenna is presented for dual-band operation.

The proposed antenna is comprised of circular and rectangular slots on a printed circuit board of 40 mm × 40 mm × 1.6 mm with a 50 Ω microstrip transmission line.

Commercially available high frequency structural simulator (HFSS) based on the finite element method (FEM) has been adopted in this investigation.

It has a measured impedance bandwidths (2 : 1 VSWR) of 18.53% on the lower band and 7.8% on the upper band, respectively.

It has achieved stable radiation efficiencies of 79.76% and 80.36% with average gains of 7.82 dBi and 5.66 dBi in the operating frequency bands.

Moreover, numerical simulations have been indicated as an important uniformity with measured results.
