Size Reduction of Multiple Feed Line Microstrip Antenna Using Peripheral Slit Technique

Abstract

Miniaturization and size reduction of multiple feed-line microstrip antenna has been investigated and described in this paper. The dimension of proposed antenna reduced using 3 pair of slit while the resonant frequency of 1800 MHz. Based on simulation and optimization result using EM Simulation, the dimension of proposed antenna can reduced until 94.81% compared with conventional multiple feed line microstrip antenna. This result shows that peripheral slit technique succeeded in reducing the dimension of proposed antenna without change the working frequency of antenna.
