Ellipse Shaped Four-Element Microstrip Patch Antenna Array Using Corporate Feed Network
subject: antenna array; ellipse; microstrip; multiband; uwb
description: The design and simulation of an ellipse-shaped four-element microstrip antenna array for effective multi-band wireless communication are presented in this paper. The proposed antenna makes use of a FR4 substrate, which has overall measurements of 240mm 150mm for a four element antenna and 55mm 55mm for a single element. Simulation of the antenna shows significant return loss at key frequencies: 0.35, 0.5, 1.7, 2.2, 3.6, 5.6, and 9.4GHz, with S11 values below ?10dB. These frequencies cover bands like radar, 4G/5G, ultra-wideband (UWB), global positioning system (GPS), and wireless LAN (WLAN). The antenna achieves broadband operation with good gain values because of the staircase-shaped ground plane and defected radiating ellipse-shaped patch.
