Abstract
Dual polarization is achieved by putting a rectangular or circular patch in between two orthogonal gaps. At the beginning a single-polarized patch is considered. Then by using anequivalent circuit, the impedance matching property of the gap is being configured. After optimization of the length of the patch and width of the gap, a dual polarized antenna is being considered. Here in this article we projected a new technique to design dual polarized microstrip antenna for WLAN, WiMAX, wireless applications using circular patch. By combining all resonant modes we have finally achieved a wide operating bandwidth. Experimental result of the projected antenna shows the operating bandwidth of 21.56% (5.24–6.37 GHz) for (differential mode S-parameter) Sdd11 ≤ −10 dB with a high port isolation of 40 dB and a relative gain of 13.5 dBi is achieved. From the result analysis this antenna finds its applications for various WLAN and Wi-MAX frequency band.
