Abstract

In this study, the design and optimization of multiband microstrip antennas used in wireless communication systems are addressed. Multiband antennas are critical components that enable devices to access different frequency bands, operating on various networks such as GSM, LTE, Wi-Fi, and 5G. However, designing these antennas is a challenging process that requires balancing conflicting parameters like antenna size and bandwidth while achieving high gain across a wide frequency range. In this context, the literature has proposed various innovative approaches, such as parasitic elements, fractal geometries, and loading elements, to improve antenna performance. In this study, a unique microstrip antenna design was developed using 3D simulations, and this design was compared with competing models from the literature. Additionally, the results demonstrate that the proposed antenna exhibits high electromagnetic performance characteristics.

ÇOK BANDLI UYGULAMALAR İÇİN YÜKSEK PERFORMANSLI MİKROŞERİT ANTEN TASARIMI

Abstract

Bu çalışmada, kablosuz iletişim sistemlerinde kullanılan çok bandlı mikroşerit antenlerin tasarımı ve optimizasyonu ele alınmıştır. Çok bandlı antenler, GSM, LTE, Wi-Fi ve 5G gibi farklı ağlar üzerinde çalışabilen, cihazların farklı frekans bandlarına erişimini sağlayan kritik bileşenlerdir. Ancak, bu antenlerin tasarımı, geniş bir frekans aralığında yüksek kazanç sağlarken, anten boyutu ve band genişliği gibi çeşitli parametreleri dengelemeyi gerektiren zorlu bir süreçtir. Bu nedenle, literatürde anten performansını iyileştirmek amacıyla parazitik elemanlar, fraktal yapılar ve metamalzemeler gibi çeşitli yenilikçi yaklaşımlar önerilmiştir. Çalışmada, 3B simülasyon programı kullanılarak özgün bir mikroşerit anten tasarımı gerçekleştirilmiş ve literatürdeki rakip modellerle kıyaslanmıştır. Elde edilen sonuçlar, önerilen antenin yüksek elektromanyetik performans karakteristiklerine sahip olduğunu göstermektedir.
