Microstrip Resonant and Non-Resonant Antenna for 5 GHz Indoor and Outdoor Band Applications

Abstract

In this paper, a microstrip V-shaped long wire antenna is proposed and designed using HFSS simulation software. The antenna design includes a V-shaped radiator positioned on the top of the substrate, along with bottom side tuning stubs. The fabrication of the antenna is made on a Fr-4 epoxy substrate, resulting in overall dimensions of 16×16×0.32 mm3 and 18×16×0.8 mm3. After conducting simulations and measurements, the resonant and non-resonant antenna parameters have been compared. The resonant antenna operates at a frequency of 5.8 GHz, while the non-resonant antenna operates at 5.2 GHz. The resonant antenna exhibits a bandwidth of 17.2%, whereas the non-resonant antenna demonstrates a bandwidth of 15%.
