Design of a Microstrip Patch Antenna with High Bandwidth and High Gain for UWB and Different Wireless Applications

We propose square shape patch antenna in this research work. Focus of the work is to obtain large bandwidth with compact ground plane for wireless applications. The proposed antenna is designed using dielectric material of FR4 having height of 1.6 mm and having r of 4.4. We simulated the proposed antenna in CST Microwave Studio. Simulation results show that the proposed antenna achieved bandwidth from 2.33 GHz to 12.4 GHz with radiation efficiency more than 90% in ultrawideband range. The proposed antenna covers the range of ultra wideband from 3.1 GHz to 10.6 GHz, the range of local area network, wide area network, and also covers the range of satellite communications (for both uplink and downlink).
