Abstract

A slotted rectangular nameplate antenna design with a patch bearing the name of the first author is presented. A $6.8mm{\times}26mm{\times}1.6mm$ substrate of FR-4 epoxy material having a relative permittivity of 4.4 and a dielectric loss tangent of 0.02 is used. Additionally, the feeding technique used is a coaxial mechanism. The standard antenna design parameters, including the reflection coefficient, bandwidth, radiation pattern, gain, directivity, and voltage standing wave radio (VSWR) for the proposed prototype are analyzed using a high-frequency structure simulator (HFSS) v-15, and are compared to the measured results. The designed structure may be considered for different satellite- and radio-determination applications at the respective resonant frequencies.
