Abstract
In this paper, a rectangular triple-band microstrip antenna has been designed for Bluetooth application by successively loading notches and slots of different dimension in radiating patch. The conventional microstrip antenna suffers with narrow impedance bandwidth. The current work affords an alternate option to enhance the bandwidth of antenna that resonates in triple-band operation. Initially, the antenna is resonating in single-band but after loading slots, the bandwidth of microstrip antenna has been obtained 1.97% (lower band), 10.35% (middle band) and 33.16% (upper band) resonating in triple-band with three resonant frequency at 1.422 GHz (lower resonant frequency), 1.791 GHz (middle resonant frequency) and 2.467 GHz (higher resonant frequency). The suggested antenna has upper frequency band in the range of 2.045–2.858 GHz resonating at 2.467 GHz frequency and it is appropriate for Bluetooth applications (2.40–2.48 GHz) and both lower band useful for other wireless (L-band) applications. The return loss of upper band is − 34.52 dB at 2.467 GHz. The suggested microstrip antenna is directly fed by 50 ohm microstrip line feed. The suggested antenna has been designed, simulated and analyzed by IE3D simulation software.
