Abstract
A multi-band dual polarized log periodic meander-line antenna is presented in this paper. The Ansoft HFSS 3-D EM simulator is employed for design simulation. The proposed antenna is realized on a FR-4 Epoxy substrate with εr = 4.4 and tan ξ = 0.02. The size of the antenna is 14.5 x 20 x 1.59 mm3. The proposed antenna is fabricated and comparison between simulated and measured result for return loss has been observed and is found in good agreement. In addition to micro-strip transmission line feed, a capacitive probe feed has been introduced and enhancement in impedance bandwidth has been observed as compared to only transmission line feeding method. Small size of the antenna enables itself to be introduced in complex systems and can be used for various applications including GSM1800/1900, WCDMA2100 and LTE1800/2300/3700 TDD for mobile handsets and mobile assisted health applications.
