A U-slot microstrip patch antenna for Wi-max applications

Abstract

A U-slot microstrip patch antenna to yield better bandwidth performance is presented for WiMAX applications. It comprises of a symmetric U-slot w.r.t rectangular patch. The working principle, and design procedure are extensively described in this paper. The results are shows that the u slot antenna provides a band from 3.5GHz to 3.7GHz which is capable to achieve minimum voltage with good bandwidth and radiation properties. Finally a microstrip antenna operating at resonant frequency 3.6GHz is designed.
