Novel designs of broadband patch antenna for wireless communication

In this paper, three novel designs of broadband patch antenna are proposed. The first design propose broadband slotted equilateral triangular patch antenna (ETPA) operating on frequency around 1800 MHz. The second design propose broadband slotted right angle isosceles triangular patch antenna RAITPA operating on frequency around 2400 MHz. The third design proposes wideband V-Slotted and shorted edge ETPA antenna operating on frequency around 2400 MHz. The two powerful software HFSS and IE3D are used to simulate the proposed designs. Very good agreement between HFSS and IE3D software is obtained. The designs were chosen to fit modern wireless communication applications operate at Industrial Scientific Medical (ISM) bands such as Wireless local area networks (WLAN). Moreover, mounting the patch on thick substrate with loaded slot technique and loading the patch with a notch technique were used to enhance the bandwidth of those designs. Hence, large fractional bandwidth is obtained.
