Abstract

This study presents a multiband microstrip antenna designed and analyzed for wireless communication applications. The proposed antenna (Prop-Ant) is designed on a FR-4 substrate material. The Prop-Ant has dimensions of 37.5 × 46 × 1.6 mm3. 3D electromagnetic simulation software was used to design and analyze the antenna. The simulation results indicate that the antenna, with the specified dimensions, achieves a reflection coefficient of less than 10dB in the targeted frequency ranges. In the simulation, the Prop-Ant operates at resonant frequencies of 2.45GHz, 4.78GHz and 7.6GHz with bandwidths of approximately 46.12 % (2.09 GHz - 3.22 GHz), 45.18 % (3.75 GHz - 5.91 GHz) and 25.92 % (6.51 GHz - 8.48 GHz), respectively. The simulation results show that the Prop-Ant has peak gains of 2.27dBi, 3.63dBi and 4.28dBi at resonant frequencies of 2.45GHz, 4.78GHz and 7.6GHz, respectively. The Prop-Ant exhibits high gain, good efficiency and multiband performance, indicating that it can be used in wireless communication systems.

Abstract

Bu çalışmada, kablosuz haberleşme uygulamaları için tasarlanmış ve analiz edilmiş çok bantlı bir mikroşerit anten sunulmaktadır. Önerilen anten FR-4 taban malzemesi üzerinde tasarlanmıştır. Önerilen anten 37.5×46×1.6 mm3 boyutlarındadır. Antenin tasarımı ve analizi için 3D elektromanyetik simülasyon yazılımı kullanılmıştır. Simülasyon sonuçları, belirtilen boyutlara sahip antenin hedeflenen frekans aralıklarında 10 dB'den daha düşük bir yansıma katsayısına ulaştığını göstermektedir. Simülasyonda anten 2.45, 4.78 ve 7.6 GHz rezonans frekanslarında sırasıyla yaklaşık 46.12% (2.09-3.22 GHz), 45.18% (3.75-5.91 GHz) ve 25.92% (6.51-8.48 GHz) bant genişliklerinde çalışmaktadır. Simülasyon sonuçları, önerilen antenin 2.45 GHz, 4.78 GHz ve 7.6 GHz rezonans frekanslarında sırasıyla 2.27 dBi, 3.63 dBi ve 4.28 dBi tepe kazançlarına sahip olduğunu göstermektedir. Önerilen anten, yüksek kazanç, iyi verimlilik ve çok bantlı performans sergilemesiyle kablosuz haberleşme sistemlerinde kullanılabilir olduğunu göstermektedir.
