INTRODUCTION
•Federal Communication Commission (FCC) approves the UWB in 2002
for the 3.1 to 10.6 GHz range for the use of various wireless transmission
systems.
•Bluetooth (2.4 to 2.485)

•Wi- Fi (2.4 to 5.8 GHz),

•Ultra wideband (UWB) (3.1 to 10.6 GHz)

•The study of microstrip patch antennas has made great progress in

recent years.

• Compared with conventional antennas, microstrip patch antennas have

more advantages and better prospects.

Microstrip patch antenna (MPA)

• It consists of a conducting patch of any planar or nonplanar

geometry on one side of a dielectric substrate with a ground plane
on other side.

•It is a popular printed resonant antenna for microwave wireless

links that require semi-hemispherical coverage.

•Due to its planar and non planner configuration and ease of

integration with microstrip technology, the microstrip patch
antenna has been heavily studied and is often used as elements
for an array.

•The circular patch antenna has the advantage of their

radiation pattern being symmetric.

• The proposed antenna (UWB) having a bandwidth is from 2.35 to 12.9 GHz
for the use of various wireless transmission systems .

•This antenna designs involve high entire bandwidths, small sizes, simple
antenna structures, fabrication ease

The main points are to be considered while

constructing UWB antennas :-

•The antenna should operate with other narrow band transmission

systems along with the UWB antenna range.

•Impedence Matching for good return loss.

Designing of Microstrip Patch Antenna

HFSS (High
Frequency Structure
Simulator)

• In Order to design a microstrip patch antenna , there are various

Simulation software available for example FEKO, IE3D,CST,HFSS…etc

• HFSS software is the industry standard for simulating 3-D full-wave

Electromagnetic fields simulation software for designing and simulating
high-frequency electronic products such as antennas, antenna arrays,
microwave components…etc

• We are using HFSS v13.0 to design a MPA because of its better accuracy
for complicated geometries.

•Microstrip line feed is one of the easier methods to fabricate as it is a just

conducting strip connecting to the patch

•It is simple to model and easy to match by controlling the inset position

•Patch is modified by inserting one crescent shaped slot, one circular slot and
one L slot into it.

•To match of load impedance of microstrip feedline to the radiation patch,

a circular microstrip patch antenna was designed with inset line feed

CONCLUSION

•A theoretical survey on a circular shaped microstrip patch antenna is presented

in this paper for use in applications in Bluetooth (2.4 to 2.485), Wi-Fi (2.4 to 5.8
GHz), ultra wideband (UWB) (3.1 to 10.6 GHz).

•Some issues can be minimized. low power handling capacity can

be overcome through an array configuration.Some factors are involved in the
selection of feeding technique. Particular microstrip patch antenna can be
designed for each application and different merits are compared with
conventional microwave antenna.
