Design of Microstrip Patch Antenna for Industrial Routers Applications

Abstract

The proposed antenna has a simple structure comprising of two radiating strips and a coupling strip which serves to enhance the bandwidth at high frequency. The antenna has been designed to cover X bands (8-12GHz). The designed antenna only occupies a small area of 9×8.7 mm² on the system circuit board. Byadjusting the shape, location and size of the antenna, the return loss is effectively reduced, while the efficiency of the antenna is preserved. This antenna is helpful to incorporate into industrial routersfor next generation wireless systems.
