An Edge Tapered Rectangular Patch Antenna with Parasitic Stubs and Slot for Wideband Applications

In this paper, an edge tapered wideband rectangular patch antenna with slot and parasitic stubs has been proposed. The designed antenna shows wideband characteristics with a percentage impedance bandwidth of 112 % (below −10 dB and centered at 6.01 GHz). The proposed antenna shows excellent radiation characteristics with an average peak gain of 2.65 dB and average radiation efficiency of 83.9 % throughout the working bandwidth. The overall dimension of the antenna is 35 × 35 × 1.6 mm3. In order to validate the simulated results prototype has been fabricated and measured.
