Total size of the fabricated diversity antenna is $40 mathbf{mm} times 40$ mm. The fabricated prototype is tested using vector network analyzer. Measurement results are found in a good agreement with simulation results. Radiation patterns are stable over resonating frequency. The correlation-coefficient is near to zero over operating band. This configuration gives a mutual coupling less than −10 dB over operating band.

In response to the increasing demand for miniaturization over the past decades, microstrip antennas have drawn attention due to its various features like light weight, low cost, small in size and its greater resistivity to shock and vibrations. These can also easily get conformed to any surface. These antennas are also capable of operating at high frequencies, providing large bandwidth and gain by using various techniques slots and truncation of shapes. This report describes the design, simulation, fabrication and measurement results of a microstrip fed Slotted Circular Microstrip Antenna for broadband applications. The antenna was designed for an operating frequency of 2.45 GHz on a double side printed FR4 substrate measuring 55 mm x 55 mm x 1.6 mm with $boldsymbol{varepsilon}_{mathbf{r}}$ of 4.4. It measured a very large resonant band of 1.3 – 9.05 GHz at a return loss level as low as −36.5 dB at 7.98 GHz. A maximum gain of 2.46 dB was achieved at 2.33 GHz. The enhancement in bandwidth was achieved by truncation in ground and inclusion of thin circular slot. The HFSS version 18.2 software and VNA model Anritsu SA20E were used for simulation and measurement respectively. It is found that the simulation and measurement results agree.","PeriodicalId":286769,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE Indian Conference on Antennas and Propogation (InCAP)","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124471087","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}
