Simple tunable dual-band microstrip patch antenna

A novel technique for designing a tunable dual-band microstrip patch antenna is proposed. Dual-band operation is easily achieved by loading a microstrip patch antenna with one varactor diode placed on a small gap between a square patch and a parasitic strip. It is observed from the measured result that the proposed antenna shows a wide tuning range at the two resonant frequencies.

An improved formula for the resonant frequencies of the triangularmicrostrip patch antenna

An improved version of a formula due to J.S. Dahele and K.F. Lee (ibid., vol.AP-35, p.100-101, Jan. 1987) is presented for predicting the resonant frequency of a triangular microstrip patch antenna. Using a different effective length and the actual substrate permittivity, the technique previously used for the case of a circular disk is modified to produce greater accuracy than previously reported in the literature. This method consistently predicts resonant frequencies more accurately through the first five resonances
