Microstip Antenna for Wideband Application

Abstract

This paper present, method of moments based IE3D software is used to design a Microstrip Patch Antenna
with enhanced bandwidth. In its most basic form, a microstrip patch antenna consists of a radiating patch on one side of a
dielectric substrate which has a ground plane on the other side. We are using IE3D simulation software for designing and
analysis. The conducting patch can take any shape but rectangular and circular configurations are the most commonly
used configuration. Other configurations are complex to analyze and require heavy numerical computations. The length
of the antenna is nearly half wavelength in the dielectric, it is a very critical parameter, which governs the resonant
frequency of the antenna. In view of design, selection of the patch width and length are the major parameters along with
the feed line depth. Desired Patch antenna design is simulated using IE3D simulator. And Patch antenna is realized as per
design requirements. A wideband circular ring patch antenna has been proposed. The antenna is thin and compact which
makes it easily portable. The VSWR s parameter will found to be less than 2 within the operating frequency range. It can
be used for the wide band application.
