Abstract

Microstrip antenna technology has gained significant momentum in recent times, finding widespread applications in mobile and satellite communications. These antennas offer advantages such as cost-effectiveness, low profile, and easy fabrication. However, one of the limitations of microstrip antennas is their limited bandwidth utilization. To address this drawback, a proposed methodology has been introduced to enhance the bandwidth utilization factor and overcome this limitation. The proposed method involves the design of a microstrip rectangular patch antenna using co-planar parasitic rod elements and substrate integrating feeding line technique. This approach aims to improve various aspects of the antenna’s performance, including bandwidth enhancement, front-to-back ratio improvement, loss reduction, increased quality factor, and higher power handling capability. Through the proposed method, the bandwidth ratio is significantly increased from 4 to 18%, demonstrating superior results compared to existing approaches. The simulation and 3D plot results were obtained using Ansoft HFSS (High-Frequency Structure Simulator) software, confirming the effectiveness of the proposed methodology in achieving efficient bandwidth utilization and overall antenna performance improvements.
