PERFORMANCE IMPROVED TRIANGULAR MULTI BAND ANTENNA USING REACTIVE IMPEDANCE SUBSTRATE AND FREQUENCY SELECTIVE SURFACE

Abstract

In modern world, communication devices need to be operated for more than one frequency bands. Lot of research works were carried out in the field of multiband antennas. The one major concern in the design of multiband patch antenna are the gain and bandwidth. Both gain and bandwidth of the multi band antenna can be improved for the better performance. In this paper a triangular multiband antenna is designed and the gain of the antenna is enhanced by the blend of reactive impedance surface and Frequency selective surface. The proposed antenna resonates 3.4 GHz, 4.2 GHz, 6.75 GHz,7.1 GHz, 7.5 GHz and 9.3 GHz with a better return loss and gain.
