Description
Summary:The behaviour of various families of the antenna structures is studied. In that, CPW (Coplanar Waveguide) fed antennas show better behaviour for the Wireless applications. The slot antenna is used for precise operating frequency, where the frequency spectrum is 2.45 GHz and 5.5 GHz. To achieve the proposed frequency, the slot antenna is fed with Coplanar waveguide is implemented and measured with dimensions of 70 mm × 70 mm. To increase the bandwidth, first the mid section of two short slots of either side of the single pole length is increased slowly to check out the maximum bandwidth. The achieved peak bandwidth gradually starts decreasing at some length, considering the achieved peak value, The length responsible for decreasing peak value is to be noted. Now for obtaining the operating frequency lies in the frequency band, the mid section of long slot has to be decreased gradually; thus, operating frequency shows at 2.45 GHz and 5.51 GHz with return loss of −20 dB, and the whole design is printed on the FR4 substrate for better efficiency to the proposed frequency at maximum bandwidth, and thereafter to check out the characteristics of antenna the parameters such as Return loss characteristics, VSWR, Azimuth pattern, Elevation pattern and 3D distribution pattern.
