Abstract

In this paper, an enhanced gain and compact size microstrip patch antenna by suppressing the surface waves is presented for L band and S band applications. The surface waves are suppressed by using a heterogeneous substrate. A heterogeneous substrate is prepared by removing partially the substrate surrounding the patch. He suggested antenna works for a dual band resonance frequency. The first resonance frequency of the antenna is 1.585 GHz with a return loss of -17. 942 dB and second resonance frequency of the antenna is 2.335 GHz with - 13. 7785 dB return loss. The -10 dB impedance bandwidth of the antenna is 11.9 MHz (1.5809 - 1.55928 GHz) and 44.8 MHz (2.324 - 2.3469 GHz), which is the suitable bandwidth for Global Positioning Systems (GPS), WLAN and satellite communication. Compared to a standard patch antenna the suggested antenna has obtained a high gain of 7.99 dBi with reduced size up to 34% of a defected ground structure (DGS) on a a heterogeneous substrate. Using HFSS, the performance of patch antenna with DGS on a heterogeneous substrate are compared with a homogeneous substrate, a homogeneous substrate with DGS and without DGS on a heterogeneous substrate.
