Single Arc Truncated Suspended Rectangular Microstrip Antenna

Abstract

Today antenna designers are paying more focus on microstrip patch antennas, because of its numerous advantages in field of communication, such as high reliability, light weight, ease of fabrication etc. In this paper design of Single Arc Truncated Suspended Rectangular Microstrip Antenna (SATSRMSA) is presented which operates for dual bands. The substrate material of FR-4 with relative permittivity 4.4 and loss tangent of 0.0245 is used in th0is proposed antenna. The return loss and radiation pattern have been measured by using Vector Network Analyzer. The proposed antenna may find application in microwave communication systems operating in the frequency range of 3 to 16 GHz.
