Design and comparison of 4 types of dual resonance proximity coupled microstrip patch antennas

Abstract

In this paper there are four different shapes of proximity patch antennas (straight, trimmed, trapezoid and ribbon). The minimum input match achieved with the straight proximity patch antenna as -39.68 dB. The maximum gain is achieved with the ribbon proximity patch antenna as 12.1 dB. Simulation and measurement results are presented. There is a perfect match with simulated and measured gain. The antenna is first demonstrated example of working with four different geometries, having satisfactory gain and input match.
