Abstract:
A conventional rectangular V-slotted patch antenna is commonly used for 2.4 GHz Wireless local area network (WLAN) applications. The microstrip patch antenna has the inherent characteristic of narrow bandwidth that limits the use of rectangular V-slotted patch antenna for broadband technologies, like world-wide interoperability for microwave access (WiMAX). In this paper, a corner truncated scheme is designed and simulation to improve the operational bandwidth of the subjected antenna to make it operational for WiMAX (2~6 GHZ) applications. The simulation carried out it is shown that by truncating the corners of rectangular V-slotted patch antenna, results in enhanced operational bandwidth and better return loss for WiMAX.
Description:
International Conference on Innovations in Science, Engineering and Technology 2016 (ICISET 2016) was a multidisciplinary international conference organized by the Faculty of Science and Engineering (FSE) of International Islamic University Chittagong (IIUC) in association with the Center for Research and Publication (CRP) of IIUC. The objective of ICISET 2016 was to create a unique opportunity for the scientists, engineers, professionals, researchers and students to present their latest research findings and experiences in the areas of Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Electronics, Telecommunication Engineering, Pharmacy and other relevant areas of Science, Engineering and Technology. The conference took place on October 28-29, 2016 at the green premises of IIUC located at Kumira, Chittagong. Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia (USIM), a public university in Malaysia, was the International Partner of ICISET 2016. IEEE Bangladesh Section was the Technical Co-sponsor of the conference.
