Dual Annular Ring Coupled Stacked Psi Shape Patch Antenna for Wireless Applications

The paper aims to design and analyze an annular ring coupled stacked Psi shaped patch antenna with coplanar waveguide (CPW) feed technique operating for dual band frequency applications. The proposed model comprises of stacked Psi shapes resonating for lower order frequency. The second order resonating band was obtained through capacitively coupled overlapped annular rings. The geometrical dimensions of the proposed model are 3.5*2 (L*W) based on lower order resonating band. The design and simulations were performed using DS CST Microwave Studio suite. The model achieves dual resonant bands, (2.19- 2.68) GHz with impedance bandwidth 490 MHz and (5.569 – 6.09) GHz with 530 MHz impedance bandwidth. The center frequencies are 2.42 GHz and 5.815 GHz with return loss -28.97 dB and -28.99 dB respectively. The design exhibited a maximum gain of 5 dB with bidirectional and omni directional patterns in E and H- planes. The axial ratio at the two resonating bands was less than 3 dB. Parametric analysis was performed for reflection co-efficient on geometric variables like ground width, ground length and permittivity. From (3-5) GHz frequency range, a perfect notch band was also exhibited. Simulated and measured results have shown a good concurrence. The model was suitable for WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) and ISM (Industrial, Scientific and Medical) Band applications.
