Abstract
NumerousMicrostrip patch antennas turnedenormouslypopular in
mobile and radio wireless communication. This is because of comfort
of investigation and fabrication, and their fascinating radiation
features. However, they have fewretreats of narrow bandwidth, low
efficiency and surface wave losses. In order to get over the restrictions
of microstrip antennas such as lower gain (-6 dB), narrow bandwidth
(< 5%), excitation of surface waves etc, a novelsolutiontechnique;
Kock W.E, evoked the substitute of conventional dielectric by artificial
dielectrics. As substrates has appealedraisingattention. Dissimilarto
other techniques, this novelmethodemploys the implicitproperties of
dielectric materials to improve microstrip antenna execution. These
periodicstructures have the specificcharacteristic of defending the
propagation of electromagnetic waves for particular frequencies and
directions which are determined by the shape, symmetry, size, and the
material used in their building. Few artificial dielectrics structures
comprisepatterns engraved in the ground plane, drilled holes in
dielectrics, and metallic patches arrangedthroughout microstrip
structures.
The objectives of this paper are to design, fabricate,simulate and the
novel artificial dielectrics structure operating at 2.18GHz and 3.17Ghz
frequency and examine the functioning of the circular microstrip
antenna with and without artificial dielectrics structure. Those designs
were simulated with Ansoft HFSS software. Simulated data were
compared and counterpointed.
