Abstract

An analysis and design of a novel ultra wideband L-strip proximity coupled slot loaded circular microstrip antenna is proposed. The theoretical model is developed using circuit theoretic approach and obtained results are validated by MoM based IE3D simulation software. Theoretical results show a good agreement with simulated results. The patch is designed on a thick substrate of thickness 11 mm for a design frequency of 3.74 GHz and provides ultra wide band operation. The parametric study is carried out for return loss, radiation pattern, antenna efficiency, radiation efficiency and gain. It is observed that the bandwidth of the antenna depends on slot parameter and L-strip feed dimensions. An ultra bandwidth of 2.82 GHz is achieved with consistent radiation characteristics.
