Designing of a Wideband Microstrip Patch Antenna for Wireless
Applications
Abstract
In this paper, we are designing a microstrip antenna with wideband for wireless applications. We
will be designing the antenna using the CST Microwave Studio software. As the technology is
improving day by day, the need for reduction of frequency without increasing the size of the
antenna has also increased. The emerging Internet of Things (IoT) has also lead to an increasing
demand for small antennas. One of the most important things in the IoT system network is a
UWB Sensor; this Sensor commonly can be classified into two principles kinds: Contact and
non-contact Sensors. An Ultra-Wideband (UWB) is applied widely in many fields because
provides minimal interference with other signals and has the features of multi-frequency
components. Antennas are an essential component of any wireless communication system.
Hence it is relevant to design antennas for IoT application. Microstrip antennas are used mainly
due to the low profile, low cost and light weight. However, conventional MPAs always suffer
from a narrow impedance bandwidth of about 3% because of the high-quality factor Q. Though
many techniques are available for increasing bandwidth like multiple resonances, stacking,
….,etc. Wideband antennas have been a field of study from the past few decades.

Not required
Methodology
Defect ground structures are used to excite the desired modes in an antenna. Defect ground
structures act like filters to allow the desired modes to propagate. Defect ground structures have
found applications in antenna design for several applications like improving impedance
matching, gain, bandwidth to name a few.
