Abstract

This project is about designing a compact multi-band circularly polarized antenna for tracking and localization applications which is receiver type of antenna. Existing commercial GPS antenna uses 2 frequency bands which have linear polarization (LP), less robust to the future GPS receiver system. Thus, in this project, a multi-band circularly polarized antenna will be designed. The antenna is a multi-band type antenna since it is radiating at three GPS frequency bands. The antenna development starts with creating three different size of patch which is known as L1, L2 and L5. L5 (1.164GHz -1.189GHz) is the smallest frequency among those three, L2 (1.215GHz -1.240GHz) is the middle range frequency and the biggest frequency is L1 (1.563GHz -1.588GHz). The size of the antenna will be approximately 100mm by 50mm because it is a handheld receiver antenna hence it is required to be small in size. This antenna uses Rogers and FR-4 as the substrate and copper as the ground plane and patch of the radiating element. All the design and simulation results are conducted using CST Studio Suite 2016 software. Based on the result, it is shows that the antenna producing 3 different frequency band with all the return loss value is under -10 dB. It is also producing an omnidirectional radiation pattern with axial ratio less than 3dB. For polarization, the antenna is right hand circular polarization (RHCP) and producing a reasonable gain for GPS application.

Abstract

This paper presents a dual-band frequency reconfigurable microstrip antenna integrated with an Electromagnetic Band Gap (EBG) structure for modern wireless communication applications. The proposed antenna operates at two key frequency bands of 1.8 GHz and 2.4 GHz and is fabricated on a Rogers 4003C substrate to achieve low dielectric loss and stable radiation performance. Frequency reconfigurability is achieved by embedding varactor diodes across strategically etched slots on the radiating patch, allowing continuous tuning through DC bias voltage control without altering the physical structure of the antenna. The EBG structure is employed to suppress surface wave propagation and enhance antenna gain and radiation stability. Simulation and experimental results demonstrate effective frequency tuning from 1.68–1.88 GHz and 2.38–2.81 GHz with stable impedance matching and directional radiation patterns. The proposed antenna is suitable for compact and reconfigurable wireless systems such as IoT and 5G applications.

Abstract

This work focuses on refining the radiation pattern of a dipole antenna by introducing a parasitic element and carefully adjusting its size and position. A dual‑band response emerges when the parasitic element is set to a width of 9 mm. The study explores dimensions of 0.98 Wh, 0.90 Wh, 0.70 Wh, and 0.75 Wh. For the first three cases, the element is placed 9.4 mm away from the dipole antenna. In the 0.75 Wh case, however, the spacing is increased to 11.8 mm, which produces a clear improvement in gain. These results show how subtle changes in geometry and placement can significantly influence antenna performance, offering a straightforward path to achieving dual‑band operation with enhanced radiation characteristics.
