A Novel Compact Wideband Dual-Frequency Rectangular Shaped Antenna For X-Band Applications

Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2014 in the subject Engineering - Communication Technology, grade: 10, Shantilal Shah Engineering College (Shantilal Shah Engineering College Bhavnagar), course: Electronics and Communication Engineering, Communication Systems Engineering, language: English, abstract: In this paper, a novel compact designs of rectangular shaped antenna are proposed. The proposed antenna consists of rectangular shaped patch of Lxp=11.86 mm by Lyp=9.06 mm. The antenna consists of four circled concave on four corners of rectangular patch. All simulation was done by using Rogers RT/duroid 5880 substrate material having dielectric constant ?_r= 2.2 and dielectric loss tangent tan ? =0.0009.The designs were analyzed by Finite Element Method (FEM) based HFSS? Electromagnetic simulator software. Return loss, VSWR plot, smith chart and radiation pattern plots were observed and plotted for all designed antennas. The proposed antenna operates on X-Band (8-12 GHz) frequencies.
