Design and analysis of a Ѱ-shape micro-strip patch antenna for Wireless communication devices such as base stations

In this paper, a novel Ѱ-shape microstrip patch antenna that provides wide-impedance bandwidth performance in addition to the acceptable radiation patterns is presented. The substrate is a microwave substrate backed by a foam material, and for ease of fabrication, the patch is etched on a thin dielectric layer, which is placed over the microwave substrate and fed by a coaxial probe. The measured and simulated radiation patterns are in acceptable agreement.
