Design of Multiband Microstrip Patch Antenna Using Proximity Coupled Technique
ABSTRACT
Author have studied various design techniques to design multiband patch antenna. Proximity coupled technique was found more suitable and efficient to design a multiband antenna. This proposed designed antenna is able to operate in two distinguished frequency that means proposed antenna is a dual band antenna with large bandwidth and high directivity. This proposed design contains a defected ground, a rectangular patch and a meandered feed, which is designed to connect a SMA connector. Designed antenna is a 3 layer device having higher radiation intensity at 1.96 and 2.6GHz.
Keywords:proximity coupled, meandered feed, return loss, microstrip.
