Bandwidth Enhancement with Ψ-Shape Microstrip Patch Antenna Using Photonic Bandga

Santosh Tyagi; Kirti Vyas

A specific design strategy using Photonic band gap structure on ground to achieve wider bandwidth and large gain for microstrip patch antenna is presented in this paper. Proposed antenna has wide band operation from 3.8GHz to 6.5GHz with large impedance bandwidth and gain using modified patch and PBG on ground. Impedance bandwidth has improved upto 53% and gain has measured upto 6dB. Square patch antenna’s geometry is modified with ψ-shape to improved antenna characteristics. All results are verified in IE3D simulator. This proposed antenna is used for various applications of C band such as C-band ISM (802.11a), satellite and wireless communication (WLAN Europe and WIMAX).
