<p class="Abstract">Communication has become a key aspect of our daily life, becoming increasingly portable and mobile. This would need the use of micro strip antennas. The rapid growth has led to the need of antennas with smaller size, increased bandwidth and high gain. In this paper, a new version of micro strip patch antenna is designed by adopting double layered substrate concept and adding a layer of metamaterial structure to a square micro strip antenna. The antenna properties gain, return loss and bandwidth are studied to achieve better performance. The designed patch antenna has an improved bandwidth of 60% at a resonant frequency of 2.47 GHz. This antenna is designed and simulated by using HFSS software.</p>

<p>The 2.5D interposer becomes a crucial solution to realize grand bandwidth of HBM for the increasing data requirement of high performance computing (HPC) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications. To overcome high speed switching bottleneck caused by the large resistive and capacitive characteristics of interposer, design methods to achieve an optimized performance in a limited routing area are proposed. Unlike the conventional single through silicon via (TSV), considering the reliability, multiple TSV are used as the robust 3D interconnects for each signal path. An equivalent model to accurately describe the electrical characteristics of the multiple TSVs, and a configuration pattern strategy of TSV to mitigate crosstalk are also proposed.</p>

<p>This paper presents the bandwidth enhancement of a Proximity Coupled Feed Rectangular Microstrip Patch Antenna using a new Defected Ground Structure - an ‘inverted SHA’ shaped slot on the ground plane of the proximity coupled feed rectangular Microstrip patch antenna. The parameters such as Bandwidth, Return loss, VSWR and Radiation efficiency are improved in the proposed antenna than simple proximity coupled feed rectangular Microstrip patch antenna without Defected Ground Structure. A comparison is also shown for the proposed Microstrip patch antenna with the antenna structure without Defected Ground Structure. The proposed antenna resonates in S-band at frequency of 2.4 GHz with bandwidth of 180 MHz. A very good return loss of -47.9223 dB is obtained for the Microstrip patch antenna with an ’inverted SHA’ shaped Defected Ground Structure. Implementing an ‘inverted SHA’ shaped defect in the ground plane of the proximity coupled feed rectangular Microstrip patch antenna results in 5.3% improvement in bandwidth with 16.01% reduction in the overall area of the ground plane as compared to the Microstrip patch antenna without Defected Ground Structure.</p>

This paper presents a simple broadband planar monopole microstrip patch antenna with curved slot and partial ground plane. The proposed antenna is designed and fabricated on commercially available FR4 material with εr = 4.3 and 0.025 loss tangent. Bandwidth enhancement has been achieved by introducing a curved slot in the patch and optimizing the gap between the patch and the partial ground plane and the gap between the curved slot and the edge of the patch. Simulated peak gain of the proposed antenna is 4.8 dB. The impedance bandwidth (defined by 10 dB return loss) of the proposed antenna is 109% (2–6.8 GHz), which shows bandwidth enhancement of 26% as compared with simple monopole antenna. The antenna is useful for 2.4/5.2/5.8-GHz WLAN bands, 2.5/3.5/5.5-GHz WiMAX bands, and other wireless communication services. Measured results show good agreement with the simulated results. The proposed antenna details are described and measured/simulated results are elaborated.

A microstrip patch antenna is designed for a wearable antenna. The performance of microstrip patch antenna loaded with reactive impedance surface (RIS) is described in terms of gain, bandwidth and return loss. The antenna is investigated in two conditions which are conventional microstrip antenna with RIS and without RIS. The designed antenna is also aimed at size reduction therefore it will be suitable for a wearable application. This antenna which is made fully using textile and it is designed for operation in the 2.45 GHz band. The performance of microstrip patch antenna loaded with RIS is described in terms of gain, bandwidth, return loss and radiation pattern. The antenna designed with RIS operates at 2.45 GHz. Bandwidth enhancement is achieved with RIS where the designed antenna can cater frequency from 2.4 GHz to 3 GHz. A gain enhancement is achieved of 20% is achieved compared with the conventional patch antenna. Although the size of the patch is reduced with the introduction of RIS, the overall size of the antenna with the substrate is almost similar to the conventional patch antenna. However, the performance of the antenna is greatly enhanced with the use of RIS.


In this article, an optimized micro-strip patch antenna for vehicular communication is presented. It consists of rectangular radiating element with 50 Ω microstrip line feed. The FR-4 dielectric material is used as the substrate with relative permittivity of 4.4. ANSYS High Frequency Structure Simulator (HFSS) based on the Finite Element Method (FEM) is used to analyze the performance of the micro-strip patch antenna. Results show that the antenna operated at 5.9 GHz with return loss of -14.07 dB and Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) of 1.13. The optimization of the antenna is carried out by employing the meta-heuristic algorithms such as Genetic Algorithm (GA) and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO). PSO is implemented with the help of MATLAB and GA is performed by ANSYS optimetrics tool. After applying the optimization algorithms, performance of the antenna has been improved. The return loss and VSWR obtained from GA are -34 dB and 1.0 whereas from PSO are -20 dB and 1.65. On comparing GA and PSO, the results obtained from GA are better than PSO. The design methodology of micro-strip patch antenna and the employed optimization techniques are presented.

Abstract In the present era of the digital world, demand for IoT based smart devices has seen tremendous growth. These devices involve real-time human-to-machine communication and interaction. Communication of uninterrupted quality depends on the high bandwidth and speed of the internet. The development of 5G wireless network technology is the response to the crucial factors that lead to this demand, because of its ability to provide extremely fast internet speed, high bandwidth, high performance, reduced latency, and high reliability. In this research work, the authors have developed a metamaterial-based multi-band microstrip rectangular shape patch antenna with a wide high-performance bandwidth because of the demand. The proposed design has a low dielectric constant of 2.2, which is of Rogers RT/Duroid substrate, and a dielectric loss tangent of 0.0010. The design has a resonant frequency of 26 GHz. The simulations carried out using FEKO software has been analyzed for performance. The simulation and analysis reveal a good return loss of -34.4 dB at 26 GHz, -13.49 dB at 40 GHz, -13.63 dB at 53.5 GHz, high bandwidth of 5.368 GHz at 26 GHz, 3.76 GHz at 40 GHz, 2.88 GHz at 53.5 GHz, desirable voltage standing wave ratio, 1⩽VSWR⩽ 2, high gain of 10 dBi at 26 GHz, 5 dBi at 40 GHz, and high antenna radiation efficiency of 99.7 % at 26 GHz, and 61% at 40 GHz, 50% at 53.5 GHz. The bandwidth, return loss, antenna radiation efficiency and power density indicate an improvement of 5.368 GHz to 5.630 GHz, -34.82 dB to -57.10 dB, 99.7 % to 99.8 % and 2208 kW/m2 to 2800 kW/m2 respectively after loading and incorporating artificial magnetic split-ring resonator-based metamaterial on the patch. Further improvement is also seen at other frequencies. The proposed design has immense benefits for humanity due to its improved capacity to manage larger connected IoT devices in the fields of Industrial 4.0, Healthcare 4.0, Autonomous Vehicles, Agriculture 4.0, Education, Climate Change, Sustainability, and Oceanography.
