Abstract
In spite of many advantages of patch antenna, narrow bandwidth is one of the major drawbacks. In this paper it is demonstrated that significant bandwidth enhancement of a rectangular patch antenna can be achieved by simple modification of the rectangular patch. Two modified structures are presented here; both of them are capable of giving wider bandwidth and higher gain than conventional rectangular patch antennas. The antennas are simulated using High Frequency Structure Simulator (HFSS v12) for different feed positions and for two different substrate materials. A comparative study of these structures is made from simulation results. Proposed antenna structures can be operated in K bands and EHF region, whose frequency range is very important in microwave communication systems including radar application.
