Abstract
A low profile Circular Microstrip Patch Antenna (CMPA) with radius 5 mm has been designed to generate two resonant frequency bands that can be used for WLAN 5.2 (5.15–5.25) GHz, Wi-Fi (5.725–5.850) GHz and Dedicated Short-Range Communications (DSRC) (5.85–5.925) GHz application bands. The designed antenna has been slitted with two slits and a stub has also been attached resulting in an additional resonant band alongside the primary resonant band. Also, primary resonant frequency shifted from 7.22 GHz to 5.87 GHz yielding about 18.7% antenna miniaturization. Frequency bands generated by the designed antenna are (5.15–5.25) GHz and (5.71–6.01) GHz having peak gain 2.3 and 4.9 dB with broadside radiation pattern. A square shape FR4 substrate having dimension 32 × 32 × 3.2 mm3 and very thin copper sheet for radiating patch and ground has been used in the proposed antenna, which can fulfill the requirement of smaller antenna with dual band application. Simulation software HFSS ver.13 has been used to design and analyze the proposed antenna. Very good matching has been obtained between simulated and measured results.
