Abstract

In this article, we propose a novel design of a dual band antenna based metamaterial for RFID applications. The proposed antenna consists of a rectangular patch using inverted u-slot in radiating element and two split ring resonators loaded in the ground plane. The antenna is printed on an FR4 substrate having athickness of 1.6 mm, permitivitty of 4.4 and loss tanget of 0.025. this antenna is feed by a micostrip line having caracteristique of 50 Ohms. The designed antenna resonates at the UHF band around 900Mz with an input impedance of 87MHz and also, resonates at the ISM band around 2.45GHz with a large bandwidth about 516MHz. The designed antenna is simulated bys using CST and the results is validated by HFSS. After simulation, a prototype of the proposed antenna is fabricated, and the measured results show a good agreement with the simulated one.

Abstract

In this paper design of microstrip patch antennas are presented for ultra wideband (UWB) applications. The designed antennas have good matching input impedance in a wide frequency band covering the UWB frequency band which is defined by the FCC. The proposed antennas consist of rectangular patch which is fed by 50Ω microstrip line. These antennas are investigated and optimized by using CST microwave studio, they are validated by using another electromagnetic solver HFSS. The proposed antennas are designed and optimized taking into account the optimized of the ground by using Defected Ground Structure (DGS) in order to improve the frequency band of microstrip antenna. Hence, the impedance and surface current of the antenna structures are affected by DGS. As will be seen, the operation bandwidth of the proposed antennas is from 3 to 15 GHz (return loss≤-10 dB), corresponding to wide input impedance bandwidth (133.33%), with stable omnidirectional radiation patterns and important gain. A good agreement has been obtained between simulation and measurement results in term of bandwidth clearly show the validity of the proposed structures. These antennas are useful for UWB applications, may be able to potentially minimize frequency interference from many wireless technologies i.e WLAN, WiMAX. Details of the antennas have been investigated numerically and experimentally.
