Fabrication and Characterization of a Quarter Wavelength Gap Coupled Microstrip Patch Antenna
Abstract: The Universal Mobile Telecommunications Systems (UMTS2100) transmission band covers frequencies from 1920 MHz to 1980 MHz. A quarter wavelength gap coupled rectangular microstrip patch antenna (QWGCRMPA) design is proposed to cover the UMTS transmission band. The proposed antenna design provides a bandwidth of 98 MHz and 50 % patch area reduction. The design, fabrication and characterization of the quarter wavelength gap coupled rectangular microstrip patch antenna, to cover UMTS transmission band, are presented.
