Abstract EN
This article presents a bandwidth enhancing technique using a modified ground plane with diagonal edges, rectangular slot, and T-shape cut for the design of compact antennas.
The proposed low-cost, compact-size circular patch antenna on 3 cm × 5.1 cm printed circuit board (FR-4) is designed and validated through simulations and experiments.
Results show that the T-shaped ground plane with the presence of the diagonal cuts at the top corners and the rectangular slots can increase the bandwidth.
Return losses of −19 and −26 dB for the first and second resonant frequencies, respectively, can be achieved when the depth of the diagonal cut is 5 mm, the dimension of each rectangular slot is 5×3 mm, and the T-shaped size is 8×4 mm, providing a 28.67% wider bandwidth than FCC standard.
