Abstract

A simple method is proposed for enhancement in bandwidth and gain of the self complementary Bowtie antenna. This method overcomes the use of complicated fractal structures to increase the bandwidth and gain of the Bowtie antenna. Using this simple method, by making variation of the single dimension of the antenna structure, the bandwidth is improved by 21% and return loss S11 is also improved of whole of the band of interest. The major importance of this simple technique is that it can be applied to any rectangular microstrip antenna. The resonance frequencies and bandwidths can also be steered within the limited ranges also.
