The effects of varying physical parameters are investigated with a goal of understanding the coupling among different resonators. It is found that the U-slot patch antenna can be designed to attain 50% impedance bandwidth as well as 30-40% gain bandwidth. By altering the sizes of U-slot and feed slot, the wideband characteristic can be changed into a duai-frequency char- acteristic.展开更多

Design simulation and optimization processes are carried out with the aid of the Advanced Design System (ADS) electromagnetic simula-tor that uses the full–wave Method of Moment (MoM) numerical technique [1]. Rectangular microstrip patch antenna constructed from Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes (MWCNT) ink with electrical conductivity of 2.2 × 104 S/m and relative permittivity of 5-j1 is used as the conductor patch [2]. The patch is deposited on Rogers substrate RT-Durid 5880 single substrate with (εr = 2.2) and thickness of 62 mil. U-shape slot is used to provide the dual-band. The pro-posed antenna operates at 3.5 GHz for LTE and 5 GHz for WLAN. The proposed antenna parameters are compared with published result of copper patch [3,4] for the same application. Great enhancement in antenna size, matching, and frequency band width are achieved for the proposed antenna at the expense of gain and antenna efficiency compared with copper one. The proposed MWCNT dielectric antenna size is 18.4 mm × 27 mm compared with size of 27 mm × 37 mm for copper one respectively. The gain is better than 7dBi with antenna efficiency of 87.29% at 3.5GHz for cop-per patch antenna and is better than 1.692 dBi with antenna efficiency of 27.05% at 3.5GHz for MWCNT respectively.展开更多

In this design, however these simpler approximations of slot length against the frequency do not give closer results for different slot lengths and there positions inside the patch. In this paper, the modal variations of slot cut patch antennas over wide frequency range are studied. It is observed that the slot does not introduce any mode but reduces the higher order mode resonance frequency of the patch and along with the fundamental mode realizes dual band response. The formulations of the resonant length for the mode introduce by the slots in these antennas are proposed. The resonance frequencies calculated using proposed formulations agree well with the simulated results with an error of less than 5%.展开更多
