A Novel Parasitic Mushroom-Like Structure with High Gain Microstrip Patch Antenna for Broadband Applications
摘要
In this research, a design for a microstrip patch antenna loaded with a parasitic mushroom-like structure is proposed. Antenna components include a rectangular microstrip patch as the main radiating element and one or more metallic patches as parasitic elements, separated by a dielectric layer. The parasitic patches are arranged in a pattern that resembles a mushroom growth, and their dimensions are optimized to improve the antenna’s performance. According to simulation results, the suggested antenna has a bandwidth of up to 20% and a high gain of up to 10dBi, which is much broader than that of a typical microstrip patch antenna. The radiation characteristics of the antenna are also improved, with a more uniform radiation pattern and higher front-to-back ratio. The suggested antenna design is appropriate for a variety of uses, including wireless communications, radar systems, and satellite communications, which call for high gain and broad coverage. The simplicity and low profile of the antenna make it easy to manufacture and integrate into various systems. Overall, the proposed parasitic mushroom-shaped microstrip patch antenna, which has broadband and high gain, is a promising solution for achieving improved antenna performance without increasing the antenna’s size or complexity.
