Swastik Slotted Microstrip Patch Antenna For C Band Wireless Applications

Abstract

Microstrip patch antennas are commonly used an- tennas for wireless application receivers. In this pro- posed work, a circular-shaped patch antenna is de- signed and simulated for tracking lives in C band ap- plications. An antenna has been designed and simu- lated for tracking purposes in C band applications using the Rogers RT-Duroid substrate. The antenna can achieve resonance at two different frequencies - 6.5 GHz and 8.7 GHz. With dimensions of 80*44 mm, it has been specifically designed for tracking lives. The maximum gain achieved by the antenna is 4.26 dB at 6.5 GHz and 4.93 dB at 8.7 GHz, making it suitable for tracking lives using the C band of the radio spectrum. The design process involved an ex- tensive literature survey on wearable microstrip an- tennas and wideband microstrip antennas that oper- ate in the C band spectrum. The antenna was modi- fied to obtain a wideband in the proposed radio spec- trum and was simulated using the ANSYS HFSS package.
