Abstract
The paper presents a triangle-shaped patch antenna designed for WLAN systems operating in the range of 5150–5350 MHz (IEEE 802.11 a,n) and 5725–5825 MHz (IEEE 802.11 a,n). This paper presents a single-layered equilateral triangle-shaped microstrip patch antenna having rectangular slots and one stub. The simulated antenna is resonating at two resonance frequencies 5.20 and 5.76 GHz with 18.01 % impedance bandwidth and, 7.94 and 6.24 dBi directivity, respectively. The performance along with the design of the patch antenna is optimized considering different slot variance to obtain an antenna with high gain and efficient bandwidth. The E-palne and H-plane radiation pattern have also been synthesized in accordance with the other parameters. The substrate material of FR4 Lossy with relative permittivity 4.4 and loss tangent of 0.025 is used in this proposed antenna. All the simulation work is carried using IE3D software.
