Abstract
In this paper, a design of a compact series-fed dipole pair(SDP) antenna with end-loaded rectangular patches is presented. In order to reduce the lateral size of a conventional SDP antenna, rectangular patches are end-loaded to the two dipole elements of the SDP antenna and a grooved ground plane is used by adding a patch at both ends of the ground plane. The effects of varying the length and width of the rectangular patches on the antenna performance such as input reflection coefficient are investigated. An optimized compact SDP antenna covering a frequency band ranging from 1.7 GHz to 2.7 GHz is designed and fabricated on an FR4 substrate. The total width of the fabricated prototype of the proposed antenna is reduced by approximately 14.3% compared to the conventional SDP antenna. Experimental results show that the antenna presents a 48.7% bandwidth in the range of 1.68-2.76 GHz and a stable gain of 5.6-6.0 dBi with minimal degradation. Moreover, a front-to-back ratio is improved by about 0.7 to 7.4 dB.
