BandwidthImprovement Of Microstrip PatchAntenna Using DGS Technique

Abstract

In the recent years, The Wireless Technology is one of the main areas of research in the world of communication systems and the development in communication systems requires the development of low cost, minimal weight, low profile antennas that are capable of maintaining high performance over a wide range of frequencies. The performance and advantages of microstrip patch antennas make them the perfect choice for communication systems. This was the main reason why we select this project. In this work, a circular microstrip patch antenna was designed and simulated using the Computer Simulation Technology (CST). The aim of our work is to improve and increase the bandwidth of an antenna by using Defected Ground Structure (DGS) technique in order to use this antenna in Ultra and Super wideband (UWB/SWB) applications.
