Abstract
This article proposes a union-shaped triple band microstrip patch antenna design suitable for WLAN and wireless sensor applications. The union shape is obtained by optimizing the combination of a rectangular shape and two semicircles. It is designed using an FR-4 substrate having a dielectric constant of 4.4. The antenna size is 34.6 mm × 48.4 mm × 1.6 mm. It exhibits three resonance frequencies such as 2.4 GHz, 4.8 GHz, and 6.8 GHz. The S11 values at these frequencies are -23dB, -20 dB, and -21 dB, respectively. The FDTD analysis of this proposed antenna is carried out with a novel algorithm developed for identifying strips of contiguous white pixels in a column within a black-and-white image of the antenna. The algorithm reads all the pixels in the black and white image and forms separate strips having white color, indicating the conducting part of the antenna. The data of all the strips are stored in one structure containing several fields such as strip number, column number in which the strip is present, the starting row number, the last row number, and the total length of the strip. This structure was then used to create the antenna's geometry in the FDTD environment using Elsherbeni codes. This algorithm will stand as a better solution for implementing the geometry of microstrip patch antennas for carrying out FDTD analysis.
