Microstrip Patch Antenna Bioinspired in Primrose Flower for WLAN and Bluetooth Applications

Abstract

In this paper is developed a microstrip patch antenna bioinspired in Primrose Flower (Primula vulgaris), generated by a polar equation, built in the low-cost substrate, fiberglass, operating in the wireless local area network at IEEE 802.11b, g, n, Bluetooth standards, and IEEE 802.15. The results present good agreement with simulated and measured values, with the difference between the simulated and measured resonance frequency of 0.36%, measured bandwidth of 51 MHz, the half-power beamwidth of 110 degrees, and maximum gain of 6.18 dBi.
