Abstract

For many applications microstrip antenna is well suited because of its properties like lightweight, planar structure and ease of fabricating, but have limitation of low band width and gain. In this research, a design technique for enhancing gain and bandwidth of microstrip patch antenna in ultra wide band frequency spectrum is proposed. This paper presents the design of series fed microstrip patch antenna array with metamaterial. A series resonant array structure is chosen which is compact and easy to excite. The designed antenna exhibits not only high-gain but also broadband characteristics. By using antenna array we can improve performance of the antenna like directivity, gain, bandwidth and other parameters which are difficult to achieve with the single element. Performance of antenna array can further be improved if we can reduce the mutual coupling between the elements. In this research we are designing patch antenna array of five elements which is fed by a microstrip line. SRR metamaterial is introduced in the array design to improve the mutual coupling between the patch elements. The advantage of this antenna is that it provides an overall planar structure. This antenna may find application in modern communication systems and radar systems.

Abstract

In this paper, filter characteristics of waveguide loaded with Split Ring Resonator (SRR) are presented. It is demonstrated that transmission coefficient S12 reduces to -39 db after insertion of SRR which was zero without insertion of SRR at 1 G Hz. Which shows that after insertion of SRR in the waveguide signal of frequency 1 G Hz is unable to reach to port 2 from port 1 of waveguide i.e Split Ring Resonator of our design is acting as filter at frequency of 1 G Hz. The effect of variation of dimensions of SRR on filter characteristics is also presented. It is observed that by decreasing the outer radius of SRR and by keeping all other dimensions constant the operating frequency of filter shifts toward higher side. By increasing the inner radius of SRR and keeping all other dimensions constant the operating frequency of filter shifts toward lower side. A band reject filter is also presented by combination of SRR filter of different dimensions. In our work we have designed SRR filter for 1 G Hz. When outer radius of filter is decreased filter characteristics is observed at frequency of 1.16 G Hz. When inner radius of filter is increased filter characteristics is observed at frequency of 0.95 G Hz. When combination of these three filters is used band stop characteristics is observed at frequency range from 0.91 G Hz to 1.11 G Hz. All simulations are done with Anasoft HFSS.
