Abstract
In this study, a microstrip patch antenna design with a U-shaped patch and a
paper-based substrate is presented. Metallic parts such as the patch,
ground plane and microstrip line feed are designed in aluminum. Utilization
of recyclable paper and aluminum yields a sustainable and environmentally
friendly design. The dual-band antenna operates between 1.950-2.125 GHz and
2.650-2.825 GHz with a bandwidth of 0.175 GHz for both frequency ranges. It
is suitable for multipoint distribution systems (2.076-2.111 GHz) and WiMAX
application (2.700-2.800 GHz). Monopolar radiation patterns are obtained
for the operation frequencies of both frequency ranges. Maximum gain values
are 5.009 dBi and 5.413 dBi for the operation frequencies of multipoint
distribution systems and WiMAX application, respectively. While the antenna
can be used indoors and outdoors, radome design is not considered in the
structure. No parasitic elements or slots are included in the antenna. All
simulations are carried out by using AN-SYS HFSS software package.
