Designing and Simulation of a Novel Multiband Antenna for Wireless Communication

Abstract

An antenna is the most important element of any wireless communication. Various antennas for wide band operation have been studied & designed for communication. In this paper, a multibandmicrostrip patch with simple strip line feeding is proposed to support different wireless application. The antenna is fabricated on a FR4 substrate. To obtain multiple bands, multiple square slots are provided with the rectangular patch. The performance of the proposed antenna design is analysed with HFSS(High Frequency Structure Simulator). The relevant antenna performance parameters of the proposed design viz. resonant bands, return loss, gain, and radiation pattern are reported and discussed. The VSWR of the antenna is less than 2 for seven resonant bands in the vicinity of 1.48 GHz, 1.89 GHz, 2.06 GHz ,3.47 GHz, 4.47 GHz, 4.86 GHz and 5.31 GHz. The performance results exhibited by the proposed antenna make it extremely useful for the future generation of wireless broadband communication systems.
