Miniaturaization of fractal PI shaped quad-band patch antenna using superstrate configuration for S and C band applications

Antennas particularly patch have played a dominant role in in modern communication technologies. This study focuses on miniaturization and enhancement of bandwidth and other performance parameters like gain, directivity and return loss of quad band Pi-shaped patch antenna using superstrate configuration. A single miniaturaized element is designed and then its results are enhanced by implementing superstrate configuration on variable distance levels 12mm apart each. Computer Simulation Technology 2014 s is used for design and analysis of proposed structure. The proposed antenna showed satisfactory results and can be used for C and Ku band applications.
