Design of Dual Band Labyrinth Slotted Rectangular Patch Antenna for X Band Applications

摘要

This paper presents the design of a Labyrinth shaped antenna, with a dual operating frequency of 9 and 11 GHZ in the X band region. The structure being designed has an impressive Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) of 1.38 at the operating frequency. As the X band demarcation of the microwave radio region is widely used in numerous communication based applications, the antenna being presented in this work gives us a viable alternative that can be used with an impressive performance in this region of microwave radio. Rogers RT/duroid 5880 (TM) is used as the substrate material. The Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) plot obtained has been examined and elaborated in the subsequent sections of the paper.
