TRIPLE BAND LINEARLY POLARIZED SQUARE SLOTTED MICROSTRIP ANTENNA FOR X-BAND APPLICATIONS
A novel compact triple band antenna for X-band applications is presented in this paper. A single layered feeding is used to excite square slotted truncated cornered antenna model in the proposed work. The current antenna has been simulated using commercial electromagnetic tool ANSYS HFSS (V15.0). The proposed model is fabricated for FR4 substrate material in the dielectric constant 4.4 and the overall dimension of the antenna is around 19.6´17.9´1.6mm. Different iterations and their corresponding antenna characteristics are simulated and analyzed in the present work. The simulation results are in good agreement with the proto type antenna model and the antenna performance characteristics are demonstrated in the frequency domain at the corresponding resonant frequencies.
