Abstract
This paper presents a multi-band circular patch antenna for wideband applications.
The antenna operates at 1.5, 2.8, 4.0, 4.8, 7.5 and 8.8 GHz frequency bands. The antenna has
been designed, simulated and fabricated on an FR4 substrate with dielectric constant ("r) of
4.4 and thickness of 1.6 mm. A dual feed approach has been used in the design of the proposed
wideband antenna. The multi-band circular patch antenna is smaller than the conventional
antenna for wideband application. The ¯nal optimized design is 50 £ 50mm2. The measured
and simulated return loss results and simulated radiation pattern results of proposed antenna has
been presented. The dual feed improves the gain of the proposed antenna. The measured and
simulated results show that the proposed antenna provides good performance in term of return
loss and radiation pattern for wideband applications.
