Bharatendra Singh Niboriya, Chetan Choudhary, Gyan Prabhakar . S-shape Wideband Microstrip Patch Antenna with Enhanced Gain and Bandwidth for Wireless Communication. International Journal of Computer Applications. 73, 7 ( July 2013), 17-20. DOI=10.5120/12753-9702
A wideband S-shape microstrip patch antenna is proposed in this paper. The bandwidth is further increased by introducing PBG structure. Low volume and low profile configuration, easily mounted, low fabrication cost and light weight are the advantages of this antenna. With this design, a matching impedance bandwidth over 67. 23% (from 4. 0769 GHz to 8. 2051 GHz) for VSWR< 2 was achieved. The proposed antenna operates in S-band and C-band with bandwidth over 1. 72% and 67. 23%. The proposed antenna is best suited for C-band communication. The maximum achieved gain of the designed antenna is 6 dBi with return loss of -33 dB.
