RT Journal Article T1 Simple wideband extended aperture antenna-inspired circular patch for V-band communication systems A1 Hussain, Musa A1 Naqvi, Syeda Iffat A1 Awan, Wahaj Abbas A1 Ali, Wael Abd Ellatif A1 Ali, Esraa Mousa A1 Khan, Salahuddin A1 Alibakhshikenari, Mohammad AB This article presents the design and realization of compact, geometrically simple, wideband and high gain antenna for V-band communication systems. The antenna is designed by using a conventional circular patch, which is further modified by using another fractal circular patch. Furthermore, the addition of three elliptical shaped patches significantly increases the bandwidth of the antenna. Afterwards, a circular slot is etched from the radiator to improve the radiation pattern of the antenna. The proposed structure comprises of an overall substrate size of 13 × 12 × 0.508 mm3 and designed using Duroid 5880 having very low loss tangent of 0.0009. To verify the presented results, the antenna prototype is fabricated and tested. The comparison among simulated and measured results shows a strong performance. Moreover, the comparison with state of the artwork shows that the antenna offers compact size, wide bandwidth, high gain, and good radiation efficiency. Thus, it makes the proposed antenna a potential candidate for the V-band communication systems.
