Abstract

Defected ground based modified rectangular fractal patch antenna for mobile devices communication in Delay Tolerant Networks, Wireless sensor networks and Mobile Adhoc networks is being presented in this paper. In view of the overwhelming demand of small and light weight micro-chip patch antenna in wireless communication in the recent years the size of antenna has been reduced considerably. Wideband behaviour of antenna is achieved with improved values of performance parameters like gain, reflection coefficient (S11), Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR), radiation pattern and bandwidth. The proposed antenna covers various frequency bands like earth to space communication (2.17–2.2 GHz), satellite communication (2.3 GHz), wireless local area networks (2.4–2.484 GHz), Wi Fi (2.4 GHz for 802.11b and 802.11g), Radio Frequency Identification, Microwave oven, Bluetooth (2.45 GHz), Wireless Computer Networking (2.4 GHz), Mobile Wi-Max (2.5–2.69 GHz), Direct to home services (2.5–2.7 GHz), Wi-Max (3.3–3.6) Satellite Communication for Downlink (3.7–4.2 GHz) at various resonating frequencies. High Frequency Structural Simulator; v13 has been used to simulate the proposed antenna. The antenna has been designed and simulated using FR4 epoxy substrate with relative permittivity 4.4 and having size of 32 mm × 30 mm × 1.6 mm with line feeding technique. Ground plane has also made defective. The antenna shows the bandwidth of 2830 MHz with gain of 6.83 dB, reflection coefficient (S11) − 19.72 dB and VSWR of 1.23 at resonant frequency 2.85 GHz. Size of the antenna stands reduced by 38.73% with deflective ground surface and frequency shifted towards the lower side. The antenna operates from 2.05 to 4.88 GHz covering S and C band applications.
