Abstract

This paper presents a design of triangular microstrip antenna with truncated tip and experimentally studied on Ansoft Designer v-2.2.0 software. This design technology is achieved by cutting all three tips of the triangular microstrip antenna and placing a single coaxial feed. Triangular patch antenna is designed on a FR4 substrate of thickness 1.6 mm and relative permittivity of 4.4 and mounted above the ground plane at a height of 6 mm. Bandwidth as high as 11.07% are achieved with stable pattern characteristics, such as gain and cross polarization, within its bandwidth. Impedance bandwidth, antenna gain and return loss are observed for the proposed antenna. Details of the measured and simulated results are presented and discussed.
