Design and Bandwidth Optimization on Triangle Patch Microstrip Antenna for WLAN 2.4 GHz

Abstract

In this paper, single and dual element triangle patch microstrip antenna for WLAN 2.4 GHz is designed, analyzed and fabricated. Both proposed design utilized proximity feeding techniques. Afterwards the design is simulated on HFFS and optimized, which finally the dimension of both design for frequency 2.4 GHz is obtained. The best simulation result for both single and dual element triangle patch microstrip antenna is used as reference for fabrication on FR4 substrate with dielectric constant (□r) = 4.4 and thickness (h) 1.6 mm. The measurement result showed that the single element can achieve return loss (S11) -51.913 dB and VSWR 1.005 9 at 2.417 GHz, and then for dual element the result for return loss (S1) is -48.213 8 for VSWR 1.007 8 at 2.463 GHz. Compared to coaxial feeding technique, the proximity feeding has better parameter performance.
