Good Agreement

In the last decade, artificial neural networks have become very popular techniques for computing different performance parameters of microstrip antennas. The proposed work illustrates a knowledge-based neural networks model for predicting the appropriate shape and accurate size of the slot introduced on the radiating patch for achieving desired level of resonance, gain, directivity, antenna efficiency, and radiation efficiency for dual-frequency operation. By incorporating prior knowledge in neural model, the number of required training patterns is drastically reduced. Further, the neural model incorporated with prior knowledge can be used for predicting response in extrapolation region beyond the training patterns region. For validation, a prototype is also fabricated and its performance parameters are measured. A very good agreement is attained between measured, simulated, and predicted results.

Radiation Properties

Microstrip patch antennas are printed antennas that find suitability because they are lightweight, low volume, thin in profile, dual frequency, and dual polarization operation, and compatible with MMIC. The objective of chapter is to exhibit the investigations on the bandwidth enhancement of microstrip antennas with special reference to microstrip-line-fed wide-slot antennas. Performances are realized and validated through experimental studies on the impedance properties by VNA and radiation properties by pattern measurement setup. An innovative method for the design of hexagonal wide-slot antenna has been proposed considering it as an equivalent magnetic surface of monopole antenna. Impedance bandwidth of the above slot antenna is enhanced through various tuning stubs. In case of forklike tuning stub, the obtained bandwidth is about 900MHz, for hexagonal stub the available bandwidth is 1751MHz. Further improvement in bandwidth is proposed through rotation of hexagonal wide slot, results in wide bandwidth of 5165 MHz covering all the WLAN and WiMAX applications.
