 ABSTRACT
With the rapid development in the wireless
communications, much effort has been devoted to reduce the
size of micro strip antennas. This uses a dielectric substrate of
high permittivity, Defected Microstrip Structure, Defected
Ground Structure(DGS) at the ground plane.
This project propose a low cost compact edge fed
rectangular patch antennas by way of the DGS. The proposed
two shapes i.e., is I and L DGS antennas operate at resonating of
C-Band.
The performance measures of DGS antennas going to be
stimulated in Ansoft HFSS Stimulation software.
 Objective
• To design and stimulate Microstrip patch antenna
with defective ground structure

• To design a compact antenna for C-Band

applications

• A comparison of performance with standard

antenna parameters
 What is antenna?
An instrument used for radiating/receiving

Equivalent circuit

Ground plane
 Fringing effect
• The portion of EM waves that radiates into
space is known as fringing effect.

• How can we increase the fringing effect ?

1. Lower Er
2. Increase of h
3. Higher the width(w)
 Effects of fringing
• Effective length increases by Ϫl

• Operating frequency 𝑓 = 𝑐/2𝑙√€𝑒𝑓𝑓

 Defective Ground structure
• The compact geometrical slots embedded on
the ground plane of microwave circuits are
referred to as Defected Ground Structure
(DGS).
Representation of shapes
 Methodology

• The software that we used for simulation is

Ansoft HFSS version 12. Starting with a
microstrip patch, various techniques have
been applied to meet frequency and size
requirements.
