Abstract

A compact wideband multi frequency microstrip antenna for wireless communication is proposed in this paper. The antenna is designed by introducing meandered slot on the patch and a pair of spur lines along the triangular notch on the finite ground plane. The overall size of the fabricated antenna is very small and low profile as the total dimension is 20 × 16 mm2. The proposed antenna operates at 3.7 GHz, 4.27 GHz and 5.1 GHz which may be suitable for WiMAX and WLAN applications. In addition with multi frequency operation a wide bandwidth (VSWR ≤ 2) has been achieved from 6 to 13.7 GHz i.e. 78.2% bandwidth of center frequency, which is suitable for X-band communication and ITU band applications. The meandered slot on the patch causes multi frequency operation of the antenna with 60% compactness and the spur line along with triangular notch on finite ground plane cause bandwidth enhancement.
