Abstract
This paper presents a bandwidth increasing technique using a modified ground plane with diagonal edges for the design of compact antennas. The proposed low-cost, compact-size circular patch antenna on 3 cm × 5.1 cm printed circuit board (FR-4) is designed and validated through simulations and experiments. Results show that with diagonal cuts at corners of the ground plane, the enhanced bandwidth can be tunable depending on the removed area. Return losses of minus 17 and minus 30 dBs for the first and second resonant frequencies, respectively, can be achieved when the depth of the diagonal cut is at optimum value of five mm, providing an 18.13% wider bandwidth (2.95-12.615 GHz) than the Federal Communication Commission (FCC) standard.
