Abstract
Design and analysis of an inverted H shape printed dual band patch antenna has been presented in this paper. The proposed antenna has designed by 3-D full wave high frequency electromagnetic simulator HFSS and printed in low cost, durable epoxy polymer resin composite material substrate. The printed antenna prototype has been measured in a standard far field anechoic electromagnetic field measurement chamber. The measured results have analyzed by using computer aided plotting tool OriginPro 8.5. Measured -10 dB return loss bandwidth 3.25 GHz from 9.75 GHz to 13 GHz with peak gain 8.5 dBi have been achieved. The proposed antenna has obtained 0.63 dBi gain with 96% efficiency at lower band 10.3 GHz and 6.03 dBi gain with 84.2% efficiency at upper band 12.5 GHz. The almost steady radiation pattern makes the proposed antenna appropriate for part of X and Ku band applications. Moreover, the input impedance and current distribution along the radiating patch of the proposed antenna have also been analyzed in this paper.
