Abstract

A wideband U-T Shaped Slotted patch antenna is presented in this paper for WiMAX and S–band applications. The antenna presents more gain and wide bandwidth enhancement when compared to a conventional microstrip patch. The proposed antenna comprises a rectangular patch and combination of U-T-slot in center of patch and apart from this it also consists 8mm air gap bet patch and gnd to provide wideband performance. The antenna has been designed on FR4 substrate with an overall dimension of 70mm*70mm*1.6mm2.The substrate has dielectric constant of 4.4 and thickness of 1.6 mm. The simulated results shows that the proposed antenna achieves excellent impedance matching an operating bandwidth of 1.96–2.69 GHz (29.18%). Thus it covers WiFi 2.4GHz band, WiMAX 2.5GHz band and LTE 2.5-2.69 GHz band. The gain of this antenna is around 4.3dBi for most of the frequency band and therefore the proposed antenna is suitable for wireless communication applications. In addition, effects of different slot like U, F, E in patch and air gap are examined and discussed in detail. The radiation pattern, directivity, return loss, VSWR and Bandwidth of the proposed antenna are described and simulated using HFSS software package.
