Abstract
A novel approach of improving gain and bandwidth of bowtie antenna using Frequency Selective Surface (FSS) is presented. A 42 × 66 mm2 bowtie antenna is used. The 5 mm × 5 mm FSS unit cell consists of metallic square loop and grid wires on FR4 substrate with permittivity of 4.4 and loss tangent = 0.02. The effect of FSS layer on bowtie antenna is investigated in terms of parameters like gain and bandwidth. Simulation results show that gain and bandwidth of the bowtie antenna gets increased by a factor of two when the FSS layer is kept on it. Further, the effect of change of height of the substrate on gain and bandwidth is also studied. The proposed structure shows applications in X-band and Ku-band range. High-Frequency Structural Simulator (HFSS) software is used for the simulation.
