Triple-Band Circular Ring Monopole Antenna for RF Power Harvesting Applications
Main Article Content
Abstract
This paper presents a simple and efficient approach for an antenna design and construction based on an I-shaped slot-loaded triple wideband microstrip monopole antenna with novel radio frequency (RF) power/energy harvesting capability. The proposed antenna takes advantage of circular ring shape properties, loaded with an I-shaped slot with degraded ground structure (DGS) to improve the input performances of the conventional planar circular microstrip patch antenna (C-patch). Input impedance and magnetic field radiation pattern are calculated using the electromagnetic theory of transmission line in traveling waves and resonant cavity TE11 field mode, respectively. The proposed antenna is configured on thin lossy substrate material RO4003C of volume 64.800×57.000×1.524 (in mm3), relative dielectric permittivity εr = 3.55, and numerically investigated using CST MWS. The prototype of the proposed antenna has been fabricated and tested. The experimental results show that the fabricated antenna exhibits an impressive 142% (2.98-11.11 GHz), 21.3% (11.54-14.42 GHz), and 19.6% (15.78-19.44 GHz) fractional bandwidth (FBW) for the resonant frequency of 5.73, 13.55, and 18.69 GHz respectively and peak gain of 4.2 dBi at the frequency of 5.8 GHz. Experimentally, the proposed antenna can be used in multiple applications like 2.4 GHz (2.401-2.495 GHz) Wi-Fi band/5 GHz (5.170-5.875 GHz) WLAN band/(3.1-10.6 GHz) US UWB at the view of the achieved lower band, FR3 6G operation regarding the obtained middle/intermediate band, and the future wireless and millimeter-wave communication systems according to the obtained upper band.
