Abstract:

The generation of dual-band and the tuning of microstrip antenna is an important aspect of practical applications. In this paper, a technique for the development of an antenna which can be tuned for two bands is described. We propose two techniques, namely: (i) by cutting an inclined slit on the rectangular patch and (ii) by adding an extra portion to the patch. A simple rectangular patch antenna is first designed for its operation in the S-band at 2.4GHz. This is followed by the introduction of an inclined slit of width 100μm on the radiating patch connecting the two edges to transform the original antenna into a dual-band antenna. Next, by adding an extra portion at the upper end of the patch and by varying the dimension of the extra portion, we convert it for dual frequency tuning. Prominent results are observed and are discussed in this paper.
