To achieve these requirements, high gain antenna operating at low frequency ranges with considerable bandwidth is needed. As, wider bandwidth improves the range resolution and high gain improves the range. Therefore, the L-band antenna is a suitable choice for further investigation and research. While designing the antenna, it is observed that antenna size is one of the important constraints for the development of imaging system. Therefore, this research article examines the effect of gain improvement for a dielectric superstrate and slot in the microstrip patch antenna that can be efficiently used for microwave imaging applications. The proposed design of antenna consists of simple geometry. However, lower gain, low radiation efficiency, and narrow bandwidth are the key digression factors associated with microstrip patch antenna. To overcome these limitations, the use of superstrate with slot in patch antenna are studied here. A dual layer superstrate approach is utilized to achieve improved gain along with high F/B ratio in this paper. The development stages of the proposed antenna are discussed and evaluated. Furthermore, parametric analysis is also conducted and reported for better observations.","PeriodicalId":228280,"journal":{"name":"2023 First International Conference on Microwave, Antenna and Communication (MAC)","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123947623","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Bomb disposal operations provide a number of difficulties, including significant hazards to weapon designers, disposal technicians, and mission controllers. A typical explosive ordnance disposal mission will begin with a remote-controlled robot surveying the area, in order to determine whether the explosive can be remotely deactivated. At times, a person who is skilled in bomb disposal is required to deactivate the device. The specialist who detonates the device will do so by donning a defensive suit and helmet, grabbing a toolbox of supplies, and moving around 100 meters to the location. It could be required to climb stairs, squeeze through a small space, or even lay down to reach the bomb's location in order to complete the task. To ease this task we designed the device, also comes with a camera that will enable viewing of both daytime and night time recordings enabled with android application is used to control the entire system.
