Meshed patch antennas

Conventional microstrip patch antennas are printed with continuous solid copper shapes and ground planes. The general properties of meshed patches are presented in this paper where both the patch itself and the ground plane are meshed. The gain, cross-polarization, bandwidth and radiation patterns are discussed for different combinations of patch and ground plane. The radiation patterns are not significantly affected by meshing the patch alone, but meshing the ground plane increases the back radiation. The gain can suffer by up to 3 dB or more when compared to a standard patch. Cross-polarization is improved providing that the correct mesh line geometry is chosen for the excitation mode. Meshing lowered the resonant frequency in some cases by up to 30% and also improves the bandwidth by a factor of up to 2.5 in some modes. Overall, the meshed patch offers a complex tradeoff between parameters but gives opportunities for improving the bandwidth and reducing the cross polarization and the antenna dimensions at the expense of the gain.     

Radiation and scattering from a microstrip patch on a uniaxial substrate

The problem of a rectangular microstrip antenna printed on a uniaxially anisotropic substrate is treated. The effect of anisotropy on the resonant frequency and surface wave excitation of the antenna is considered, and the radar cross section (RCS) of the antenna is calculated. The RCS calculation includes the effect of the load impedance (antenna mode scattering). Results for the resonant frequency of a patch on a uniaxial substrate are compared with measurements, and the RCS of a patch on an isotropic substrate is compared with measurements. The derivation of the uniaxial Green's function in spectral form, the associated moment method analysis for the input impedance and scattering of the microstrip patch, and the expressions for the far-zone fields of a source on a uniaxial substrate are presented.

Performance enhancement of rectangular microstrip patch antenna using double H shaped metamaterial

In this paper a high performance rectangular microstrip patch antenna (RMPA) has been designed using doubleHshaped metamaterial. First, the doubleHshaped metamaterial has been designed and optimized at 5.2 GHz resonant frequency of patch antenna. It has been found that embedding of this metamaterial into the substrate beneath the reference patch antenna improves its return loss and bandwidth without changing the resonant frequency and gain. To further enhance the gain and efficiency of the metamaterial embedded RMPA a superstrate of double H shaped metamaterial has been applied at the distance of -/3 over it. Finally, a high gain, broadband and good impedance matched metamaterial inspired RMPA has been obtained. The proposed antenna was simulated and optimized using HFSS software. The prototype antenna has been fabricated and measured results of the proposed antenna are found to be in good agreement with the simulated results.     

Microstrip Patch Antennas on Tunable Electromagnetic Band-Gap Substrates

A tunable metamaterial in integrated circuit structures is investigated through an example of a microstrip patch antenna on a mushroom-type electromagnetic band-gap (EBG) structure. The patch antenna is designed as a half-wavelength resonator of an EBG loaded microstrip transmission line. The operating frequency of a patch antenna can be switched and controlled dynamically by loading diode switches in between vias and the ground plane. When the switches are on, the EBG surface is short to the ground and is at its on-state; while when the switches are turned off, the EBG surface is dc open and is at its off-state. It is found that the resulting patch antenna in-band resonant frequencies are very different at these two states. Antenna dual-band frequencies, gain, efficiency, and radiation patterns are characterized. The designed switchable EBG-patch antenna is fabricated and tested in these two states. The measurement is found in good agreement with simulation. An example is also given for the case of selected switches within the EBG elements to tune dynamically the resonant frequency.
