Abstract
This study aimed to develop and analyse a bandwidth-enhanced C band antenna loaded with EBG and FSS Structures to improve the antenna performance. This paper illustrates the design of a semi-circular microstrip antenna with a modified circular ring Frequency Selective Surface (FSS) and an Electromagnetic Band Gap (EBG) structure for improved bandwidth and an omnidirectional pattern. The patch antenna is aimed at C-Band intersatellite communication links in a constellation. In literature, the application of EBG and FSS together is seldom used. The semicircular patch is aimed at retaining the omnidirectional antenna pattern at higher frequencies, as well as bandwidth, which is achieved through FSS and EBG structures. The modeling and simulation of the antenna have been carried out with 3D EM solvers. The simulated patch antenna operates in a wideband ranging from 4.1 GHz to 7.1 GHz with a gain of 1.9 dB at 5.33 GHz and 1.4 dB at 4.5 GHz. The proposed antenna design is vertically polarized. The simulation results are validated with measurement results. From the results obtained it is found that the antenna has broadband resonance from 4.04 GHz to 7.1 GHz with a nominal gain of 1.949 dB at 5.33 GHz and 1.433 dB at 4.5 GHz and impedance bandwidth of 78.4% (3.136 GHz).
期刊介绍:
International Journal of Sensors, Wireless Communications and Control publishes timely research articles, full-length/ mini reviews and communications on these three strongly related areas, with emphasis on networked control systems whose sensors are interconnected via wireless communication networks. The emergence of high speed wireless network technologies allows a cluster of devices to be linked together economically to form a distributed system. Wireless communication is playing an increasingly important role in such distributed systems. Transmitting sensor measurements and control commands over wireless links allows rapid deployment, flexible installation, fully mobile operation and prevents the cable wear and tear problem in industrial automation, healthcare and environmental assessment. Wireless networked systems has raised and continues to raise fundamental challenges in the fields of science, engineering and industrial applications, hence, more new modelling techniques, problem formulations and solutions are required.
