Abstract

In this paper, a rectangular microstrip antenna loaded with two log periodic stubs is proposed. The antenna geometry is fed with a microstrip line which is tapered at the connection point. The proposed geometry is designed on easily available FR4_epoxy dielectric material and the dimensions of the dielectric substrate used are of 48 mm x 36 mm x 1.6 mm. Antenna geometry#x2019;s performance is investigated in the frequency range between 2 GHz to 20 GHz. The geometry exhibits resonances at 7.76GHz, 11.27GHz, and 16.22GHz which lie in the C, X, and Ku bands. To validate the design, proposed geometry was fabricated and tested. Measured results fairly agree with the simulated data.
