Fig 3 Simulated Return loss at C-band and X-band shared aperture single microstrip antenna (using dog bone slot)


Fig 4 Simulated return loss of dog-bone slot with change in ‘a’ dimension

Spacing between slots is subjected to condition that slot array is with in the inner periphery of patch array. Slots are spaced at a distance of 0.8 λ in X direction and 0.6 λ in Y direction. Total aperture of the patches is square in geometry while that of slots is rectangular.
 

5. SIMULATED AND MEASURED RESULTS OF 2×2 PLANAR ARRAY

Simulated return loss bandwidth of 2×2 planar array is 100 MHz at C-band and 300 MHz at X-band. Isolation between two ports is better than 27 dB over the band.
