Abstract
En 中文
Multiband applications can be realized as a result of designing a double U-slot rectangular patch antenna. The equivalent circuit of a U-slot patch is presented and the return loss is theoretically derived, utilizing the [A] matrix formulation. CST Microwave Studio software was used to design the microstrip antenna with a transmission line feed and simulate return loss and radiation patterns. The antenna was fabricated in-house using a printed board CNC machine and was measured and compared for return loss using a portable network analyzer. The radiation patterns were measured using a laboratory antenna measurement system. The fabricated antenna was installed on a networked WiFi access point, and tested as far as average received power versus distance range. The antenna is simple, lowcost and easy to fabricate and measurements compared well with simulated results. (c) 2020 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
