Design of Dual Band Rectangular Patch Antenna for S-band and C-Band Applications

Jyoti Jain, Abha Sharma

A probe feed rectangular patch antenna is designed, simulated, fabricated and measured. The fabricated antenna operates at the frequency band 2.49 GHz (S-Band) and 5.03 GHz (C-Band). Experimental and simulation results of probe-fed rectangular patch antenna are presented and compared. To achieve dual band characteristics the position of the probe is optimized. Experimental results suggest that the proposed antenna can be used for Wi-Fi and WLAN applications.
