Makwana2 1 P.G Student 2Assistant Professor 1,2 Department of Electronics & Communication Engineering 1,2 Sankalchand Patel College of Engineering, Visnagar, Gujrat, India Abstract— A defected ground structure(DGS) is proposed to compact size of microstrip patch antenna. The main goal of this paper is to miniaturize a microstrip patch antenna resonating at 2.4 GHz. for this purpose DGS has been employ to shift resonance of an initial MPA from 5.5GHz to 2.4GHz by disturbing the antenna’s current distribution. The propose DGS is incorporated in the ground of MPA to improve its performance. Finally a miniaturization up to 82% with respect to conventional MPA. The simulation results are carried out by CST software.

Key words: Microstrip patch antenna (MPA), Defected Ground Structure, Miniaturization

develop DGS unit can control the two transmission zeros near the pass band edges and easily control the frequency of the slot by changing the length of the metal fingers [9].

I. INTRODUCTION Microstrip patch antennas are most commonly used now days. Due to its low-profile, ease of fabrication, versatility, light weight it has gained more momentum than other antennas. Microstrip antennas are often known as planar antenna because its elements are usually flat [2]. The radiating patch can be square, rectangle, circle, hexagonal or any other shapes. Although there are few demerits which MPAs suffers like- low efficiency, narrow bandwidth, less gain because of their small size and high return loss. Many researches till now have been done in MPAs to show better result and in removing all the demerits. Many designs have already proposed in enhancing all the demerits. In this paper also a design is proposed to compact of microstrip patch antenna [3]. Many types of miniaturization techniques, such as using of dielectric substrate of high permittivity, slot on the patch, DGS at the ground plane or a combination of them have been proposed and applied to microstrip patch antennas [6]. In this paper DGS are used to miniaturize the rectangular microstrip antenna. The present work deals with design and analysis of a rectangular compact microstrip antenna for wireless application. The design incorporate like hammer shaped defected ground structure which is in the ground plane, which disturbs shielded current distribution in ground plane [6], [8]. Initially the antenna is designed for the resonant frequency of 5.5GHz and the using DGS the resonant frequency is shift to 2.4 GHz. So a size reduction of 82% is achieved.

DGS is an etched periodic or non-periodic cascaded configuration defect in ground of a planar transmission line (e.g., coplanar, microstrip and conductor backed coplanar wave guide) which disturbs the shield current distribution in the ground plane cause of the defect in the ground. This disturbance will change characteristics of a transmission line such as line capacitance and inductance. In the other word, any defect etched in the ground plane it will increasing effective capacitance and inductance[8].

Different types of shapes etched in the microstrip line ground plane is shown In Fig. 1, including spiral head, arrowhead-slot and H-shape slots and more complex DGSs to improve the circuit presentation are open-loop dumbbell, square open-loop with middle section slot. The newly

In this design the substrate FR4 is used due to its low cost and easy fabrication. The substrate height is 1.6 mm, the dielectric constant is 4.4. The dimensions of our antenna are optimized by using CST Microwave Studio tool.

Fig. 4: Simulation of return loss of the conventional MPA resonating at 2.4 GHz The simulated return loss obtained for MPA antenna without DGS shown in Fig. 3. We can see that the adaptation is better than 10 dB and the resonance frequency is around 5.5 GHz and Fig.4 shown return loss for conventional MPA at 2.4GHz. III. MICROSTRIP PATCH ANTENNA WITH DGS We deploy DGS in order to shift the resonance frequency of the microstrip antenna previously presented in Fig. 3. First we introduce two circles type DGS with radius equal to 5mm and it is symmetrically located at edge of the patch with ycenter 9 and -9 and we study its eff ect on the antenna properties, specially the resonance frequency. Then we introduce a third circles of DGS at middle of two circles and do the same study. Both of these simulations have been carried out by CST Microwave Studio.

With Three Circle Dgs: Now we introduce the third circle of DGS at middle of two circles radius equal to 7.80mm to our proposed antenna as shown in Fig. 7. With three circle DGS, the obtain return loss for this structure is -20.25dB presented in Fig. 8 and is also shows that the resonance frequency has been shifted to around 2.4 GHz. Thus, we can say that we have obtained very acceptable result with simulation. Namely, we have designed microstrip patch antenna with DGS resonating at 2.4 GHz. microstrip patch antenna with DGS resonating at 2.4 GHz.

A. With Two Circles Dgs:

Fig. 7: Microstrip patch antenna with three circles DGS (a =7.80 mm, b = 14.80mm).

Fig. 5: Microstrip patch antenna with two circles DGS (a =5 mm, b = 5 mm) In absence of DGS, we have seen in Section II that the resonance frequency of our microstrip patch antenna is at 5.5 GHz. Now with two circles type DGS with radius equal to 5mm introduced at the edge of patch with y-center 9 and 9, the simulation result obtained for the return loss is shown in Fig. 6. We can see that the resonance frequency has been significantly influenced by the DGS, namely, it has been brought to about 4.9 GHz.

IV. COMPARISONBETWEEN CONVENTIONALANTENNA AND ANTENNA WITH DGS AT 2.4GHZ A. Size Comparison: Figure 9 shows a size comparison between a conventional microstrip antenna and the antenna that we have previously designed using three circles types DGS, and both resonating at 2.4 GHz. We can see that employing a defected ground plane beneath the microstrip patch antenna allows us to reduce the conventional surface up to 82%.
