Abstract

Design analysis of multiband-coupled stacked sectoral antenna array with finite ground plane using high low dielectric constant substrates is proposed in this paper for modern communication systems and applied physics. Multiband planar antennas have been extensively developed due to demands for integration of wireless communication systems. In this paper, we present the design and development of a multiband microstrip antenna array with parasitic coupling and stacking using two different substrates. The stacked designed antenna resonates at three different frequencies: 3.8, 5.4, and 10 GHz; therefore, showing a multiband property with good radiation (far-field) characteristics. A significant comparison study is also presented considering different dielectric constant substrates. The proposed antenna is an attractive solution for different wireless communication systems such as mobile systems, satellite systems, etc.
