A Miniaturized Trapped Slotted Triangular Mounted Patch Antenna For GPS, WiMax, WBAN, WiFi, And UWB Frequency Range Applications

This paper has the potential of designing a miniaturized trapped slotted triangular mounted patch antenna for applications that can be used in UWB frequency. The development of the proposed antenna over substrate FR4 epoxy. The presented trapped slotted antenna design measurements are 40mmx30mmx1.6mm. The top patch and bottom plane of the antenna are developed with copper. The frequency range starts from 1.5 GHz to 10.6 GHz for the presented trapped slotted antenna. The overall bandwidth which the antenna attains is 9.1 GHz. The frequency of resonance of the given trapped slotted antenna is 6.8 GHz. The net return loss is −28.19 dB for the proposed antenna. The overall gain is 2.63 dBi for the presented antenna. The gain maximum is 5.05 dBi for the antenna. The peak gain is 8.2 GHz for the antenna. The radiation efficiently emitted by the proposed antenna is in the variation of 82% to 98%. At the frequency of resonance, the efficiency of the antenna's radiation is 93.02%. This study aims to design the antenna with miniaturized dimensions that can work at multiple frequencies, significantly lower ones. The proposed antenna covers the GPS, UWB frequency ranges, WiMAX, WBAN, and Wi-Fi.
