GAIN & BANDWIDTH ENHANCEMENT OF ANTENNA USING NUMERICAL EXPERIMENTATION
Keywords:
Micro strip patch antenna, gain, bandwidth, probe fedAbstract
This paper covers important aspect of microwave communication technology. The vehicular satellite communication and automotive radar applications require light- weighted and low cost antennas with possibility of conformal integration. The microstrip antenna is a good choice. However, they have typical gain of about 6-7 dBi only. This paper describes the analysis and design of new wideband high gain microstrip antennas with the concept of the short surface mounted horn to increase the gain and bandwidth. The numerical simulation is done with the help of 3D- EM SIMULATOR, Microwave Studio.
