AbstractThe aim of this paper is to design a triangular

microstrip antenna with dual stub. The structure will be center
frecuency of 13.193 GHz, but given that the size of the antenna
design was found to be very small they chose to reduce the
center frequency to 5 GHz. The structure of the antenna will
have a triangular shape with two stubs these will give an extra
4 GHz frequency.Stub loading technique is used to enhance the
bandwidth performance. Two rectangular stubs will be insert on
the radiating edge of the triangular patch.

I. I NTRODUCTION

ICROSTRIP antenna are very popular in wireless

communication systems due to their several advantages
like low cost,thin profile,light weight etc.,but on the other
hand,microstrip antenna suffers due to its bandwidth
problem[1].The most straightforward way to overcome the
low bandwidth problem is to use the thicker substrate.
Unfortunately, the thick substrate results in impedance
mismatch,large radiation loss[2]. There are several techniques
of Bandwidth enhancement processes, we choose the wide
rectangular type slot[3], it will be adapt for bandwidth
enhancement. Another procedure for Bandwidth enhancement
is Bow-Tie shape antenna and slot antenna with EBG structure.

II. A NTENNA D ESIGN

HE proposed antenna was design using bakelite substrate

material and dielectric constant r = 4,8 [4]. The patch
geometry will be a equilateral trianglular shape and we hope
arms with length L=54.4mm. This triangular antenna radiates
at center frecuency fc =5GHz. We did use the cavity model
and taking on an perfect magnetic side-walls, we use coaxial
feed and we will position from the vertex of antenna. The
Figure 1. show the model microstrip triangular that it consists
of two stubs that design at the Ansoft Designer v3 software.[5]
III. S IMULATION R ESULTS

N the course of the semester as we saw topics to ends

to the design and construction of the antenna that we
chose like model for the project we realized that it is needed
knowledge in the matter of antennas and spread. This way an

antenna cannot invent it without any criterion. The obtained

results can be observed then.
In the Figure. 2 we can observe the comeback of loss of
the performance of the triangular antenna microstrip in case
should be employed at the frequency incial fc=13.192GHz.
In the figure 3 we have the design of the antenna of Ansoft
designer Software.
In the Figure. 4 we can see the frequencies need with the
reformed measurements of the antenna. The measurements
and the frequency of work are more reals.We notice it in
the first instance fc=5.0 GHz that this is the main frequency
without the stubs, as soon as the stubs were added in the
design can see as there is generated a side frequency of
4GHz. The application of this antenna for the frequency of
5.18Ghz is focused on applications in the ambience of the
wireless Internet or WI-FI.

In Figure. 5 have the schematic model of the antenna

removed in autocad software with its respective berm.
In this Figure. 6 we observe that a frequency to which it
is going to transmit the antenna in this case, would be of 5.0
Ghz which should be receipted for another antenna.
In the Figure. 7 the analyzer appears working to a central
frequency of 5.00 Ghz verifying that the design of the
developed antenna is correct, but it is not perfect, give
the highest peak is to -70dB of profit this gives to us, to
understand that what in the simulation was already working
out for us different q in the ambience can present many
factors to itself not to obtain the wished frequency, it can be

IV. C ONCLUSION

HE double stubs loaded triangular microstrip antenna

has been proposed for enhanced bandwidth operation,
in our case without the stubs the fc=5.0 GHz in increasing
stubs gave an extra frecuency 4GHz. With in the enhanced
bandwidth , the considerable gain has also been achieved.
Simulation studies have been performed on the proposed
antenna. The design is very useful . The proposed antenna is
applicable in Ku band.
Not all the articles can be applied to the practice because
they have no coherence in many cases, for this it is necessary
to have a certain know ledge grade in the matter of spread and
antennas to be able to know to simple sight that they can no
have veracity an article in Internet.
