Performance of a Swastik Shape Microstrip Patch Antenna With Wide Bandwidth

I n this paper, a novel swastik shape microstrip patch antenna with enhanced bandwidth is presented and discussed. The proposed design offers low profile,enhanced bandwidth and compact antenna element. The maximum gain is 3.61 dBi at 2.5 GHz, antenna efficiency is 88.20% while the radiation efficiency is more than 91%.Thebandwidth obtained is 27.73%.The VSWR parameter was found to be less than 2 within the operating frequency range. The substrate material of relative permittivity 4.2 and loss tangent of 0.0013 is used in this proposed antenna. The designing and simulation of the antenna structure is done over IE3D simulation software version 15.20 K eywords: Coaxial probe, enhanced bandwidth,IE3D software, Microstrip Antenna,swastika shape.
