This paper proposes a microstrip patch antenna (MSPA) in the Ku band for satellite applications. The antenna is small in size with dimensions of about 40 mm×48 mm×1.59 mm and is fed with a coaxial cable of 50 Ω impedance. The proposed antenna has a wide bandwidth of 3.03 GHz ranging from 12.8 GHz to 15.8 GHz. To realize the characteristics of wideband the techniques of defective ground structure (DGS) and etching slots on the radiating element are adopted. The antenna is modeled on the FR4 substrate. A basic circular patch is selected for the design of a dual-frequency operation and in the next step DGS is introduced into the basic antenna and enhanced bandwidth is achieved at both the frequencies. To attain wider bandwidth two slots are etched on the radiating element of which one is a square ring slot and the second one is a circular ring slot. The novelty of the proposed antenna is a miniaturized design and unique response within the Ku band region which is applicable for wireless UWB applications with VSWR <2 and an average gain of 3.6 dB.

This letter presents the design, simulation, and measurement of a novel multiband fractal circular antenna for wireless applications. In the antenna design, we used a circular antenna where we took a ring. Then, in the first iteration, we added a new ring divided into two of the same size. For the second iteration, we added a ring of the same size after dividing it into two halves. In the third iteration, we added the third ring of the same size after dividing it into four. Due to the resonator defection, we were able to reduce the size of the starting antenna from 60×70×2 mm3 to 50×50×1.6 mm3 , to get the frequency of 2.48 GHz, and we generated new bandwidths with a high gain that reaches 5.02 dB. The proposed antenna radiation characteristics, such as the impedance matching, the gain, the radiation pattern, and the surface current distribution are presented and discussed. We find that the simulated and measured results are in acceptable agreement and affirm the good performance of the proposed antenna. The results obtained affirm that the proposed fractal antenna is a better candidate for integration into wireless communication circuits.

Microwave engineers have been known to designedly created defects in the shape of carved out patterns on the ground plane of microstrip circuits and transmission lines for a long time, although their implementations to the antennas are comparatively new. The term Defected Ground Structure (DGS), precisely means a single or finite number of defects. At the beginning, DGS was employed underneath printed feed lines to suppress higher harmonics. Then DGS was directly integrated with antennas to improve the radiation characteristics, gain and to suppress mutual coupling between adjacent elements. Since then, the DGS techniques have been explored extensively and have led to many possible applications in the communication industry. The objective of this paper is to design and investigate microstrip patch antenna that operates at 2.4 GHz for Wireless Local Area Network WLAN IEEE 802.11b/g/n, ,Zigbee, Wireless HART, Bluetooth and several proprietary technologies that operate in the 2.4 GHz band.

The results show improvement in both the gain of 3.45 dB and the S11 response of -22.3 dB along with reduction in the overall dimensions of the antenna. As a conclusion, the performance of the antenna has been improved through the incorporation with the DGS and slots structures regarding the S11 response and the gain. The proposed antenna become more compact. Finally, the radiation pattern of proposed antenna has remained directional in spite of adding slots on the ground plane.

This letter presents the design, simulation, and measurement of a novel multiband fractal circular antenna for wireless applications. In the antenna design, we used a circular antenna where we took a ring. Then, in the first iteration, we added a new ring divided into two of the same size. For the second iteration, we added a ring of the same size after dividing it into two halves. In the third iteration, we added the third ring of the same size after dividing it into four. Due to the resonator defection, we were able to reduce the size of the starting antenna from 60×70×2 mm3 to 50×50×1.6 mm3 , to get the frequency of 2.48 GHz, and we generated new bandwidths with a high gain that reaches 5.02 dB. The proposed antenna radiation characteristics, such as the impedance matching, the gain, the radiation pattern, and the surface current distribution are presented and discussed. We find that the simulated and measured results are in acceptable agreement and affirm the good performance of the proposed antenna. The results obtained affirm that the proposed fractal antenna is a better candidate for integration into wireless communication circuits.

Microwave engineers have been known to designedly created defects in the shape of carved out patterns on the ground plane of microstrip circuits and transmission lines for a long time, although their implementations to the antennas are comparatively new. The term Defected Ground Structure (DGS), precisely means a single or finite number of defects. At the beginning, DGS was employed underneath printed feed lines to suppress higher harmonics. Then DGS was directly integrated with antennas to improve the radiation characteristics, gain and to suppress mutual coupling between adjacent elements. Since then, the DGS techniques have been explored extensively and have led to many possible applications in the communication industry. The objective of this paper is to design and investigate microstrip patch antenna that operates at 2.4 GHz for Wireless Local Area Network WLAN IEEE 802.11b/g/n, ,Zigbee, Wireless HART, Bluetooth and several proprietary technologies that operate in the 2.4 GHz band.

As a conclusion, the performance of the antenna has been improved through the incorporation with the DGS and slots structures regarding the S11 response and the gain.

Wide application of proportional-integral-differential (PID)-regulator in industry requires constant improvement of methods of its parameters adjustment. The paper deals with the issues of optimization of PID-regulator parameters with the use of neural network technology methods. A methodology for choosing the architecture (structure) of neural network optimizer is proposed, which consists in determining the number of layers, the number of neurons in each layer, as well as the form and type of activation function. Algorithms of neural network training based on the application of the method of minimizing the mismatch between the regulated value and the target value are developed. The method of back propagation of gradients is proposed to select the optimal training rate of neurons of the neural network. The neural network optimizer, which is a superstructure of the linear PID controller, allows increasing the regulation accuracy from 0.23 to 0.09, thus reducing the power consumption from 65% to 53%. The results of the conducted experiments allow us to conclude that the created neural superstructure may well become a prototype of an automatic voltage regulator (AVR)-type industrial controller for tuning the parameters of the PID controller.

A 22% drop in electrical involvement from wave-carrying to victim TSVs introduces this new paradigm and improves system performance even at higher THz frequencies.

Climate change's impact on the planet forced the United Nations and governments to promote green energies and electric transportation. The deployments of photovoltaic (PV) and electric vehicle (EV) systems gained stronger momentum due to their numerous advantages over fossil fuel types. The advantages go beyond sustainability to reach financial support and stability. The work in this paper introduces the hybrid system between PV and EV to support industrial and commercial plants. This paper covers the theoretical framework of the proposed hybrid system including the required equation to complete the cost analysis when PV and EV are present. In addition, the proposed design diagram which sets the priorities and requirements of the system is presented. The proposed approach allows setup to advance their power stability, especially during power outages. The presented information supports researchers and plant owners to complete the necessary analysis while promoting the deployment of clean energy. The result of a case study that represents a dairy milk farmer supports the theoretical works and highlights its advanced benefits to existing plants. The short return on investment of the proposed approach supports the paper's novelty approach for the sustainable electrical system. In addition, the proposed system allows for an isolated power setup without the need for a transmission line which enhances the safety of the electrical network

Fossil fuel consumption increased quickly, contributing to climate change
that is evident in unusual flooding and draughts, and global warming. Over
the past ten years, women's involvement in society has grown dramatically,
and they succeeded in playing a noticeable role in reducing climate change.
A bibliometric analysis of data from the last ten years has been carried out to
examine the role of women in addressing the climate change. The analysis's
findings discussed the relevant to the sustainable development goals (SDGs),
particularly SDG 7 and SDG 13. The results considered contributions made
by women in the various sectors while taking geographic dispersion into
account. The bibliometric analysis delves into topics including women's
leadership in environmental groups, their involvement in policymaking, their
contributions to sustainable development projects, and the influence of
gender diversity on attempts to mitigate climate change. This study's results
highlight how women have influenced policies and actions related to climate
change, point out areas of research deficiency and recommendations on how
to increase role of the women in addressing the climate change and
achieving sustainability. To achieve more successful results, this initiative
aims to highlight the significance of gender equality and encourage
inclusivity in climate change decision-making processes.
Voltage and frequency control of microgrid in presence of micro-turbine inter...IJECEIAES
The active and reactive load changes have a significant impact on voltage
and frequency. In this paper, in order to stabilize the microgrid (MG) against
load variations in islanding mode, the active and reactive power of all
distributed generators (DGs), including energy storage (battery), diesel
generator, and micro-turbine, are controlled. The micro-turbine generator is
connected to MG through a three-phase to three-phase matrix converter, and
the droop control method is applied for controlling the voltage and
frequency of MG. In addition, a method is introduced for voltage and
frequency control of micro-turbines in the transition state from gridconnected mode to islanding mode. A novel switching strategy of the matrix
converter is used for converting the high-frequency output voltage of the
micro-turbine to the grid-side frequency of the utility system. Moreover,
using the switching strategy, the low-order harmonics in the output current
and voltage are not produced, and consequently, the size of the output filter
would be reduced. In fact, the suggested control strategy is load-independent
and has no frequency conversion restrictions. The proposed approach for
voltage and frequency regulation demonstrates exceptional performance and
favorable response across various load alteration scenarios. The suggested
strategy is examined in several scenarios in the MG test systems, and the
simulation results are addressed.

Precisely characterizing Li-ion batteries is essential for optimizing their
performance, enhancing safety, and prolonging their lifespan across various
applications, such as electric vehicles and renewable energy systems. This
article introduces an innovative nonlinear methodology for system
identification of a Li-ion battery, employing a nonlinear autoregressive with
exogenous inputs (NARX) model. The proposed approach integrates the
benefits of nonlinear modeling with the adaptability of the NARX structure,
facilitating a more comprehensive representation of the intricate
electrochemical processes within the battery. Experimental data collected
from a Li-ion battery operating under diverse scenarios are employed to
validate the effectiveness of the proposed methodology. The identified
NARX model exhibits superior accuracy in predicting the battery's behavior
compared to traditional linear models. This study underscores the
importance of accounting for nonlinearities in battery modeling, providing
insights into the intricate relationships between state-of-charge, voltage, and
current under dynamic conditions.
Smart grid deployment: from a bibliometric analysis to a surveyIJECEIAES
Smart grids are one of the last decades' innovations in electrical energy.
They bring relevant advantages compared to the traditional grid and
significant interest from the research community. Assessing the field's
evolution is essential to propose guidelines for facing new and future smart
grid challenges. In addition, knowing the main technologies involved in the
deployment of smart grids (SGs) is important to highlight possible
shortcomings that can be mitigated by developing new tools. This paper
contributes to the research trends mentioned above by focusing on two
objectives. First, a bibliometric analysis is presented to give an overview of
the current research level about smart grid deployment. Second, a survey of
the main technological approaches used for smart grid implementation and
their contributions are highlighted. To that effect, we searched the Web of
Science (WoS), and the Scopus databases. We obtained 5,663 documents
from WoS and 7,215 from Scopus on smart grid implementation or
deployment. With the extraction limitation in the Scopus database, 5,872 of
the 7,215 documents were extracted using a multi-step process. These two
datasets have been analyzed using a bibliometric tool called bibliometrix.
The main outputs are presented with some recommendations for future
research.
Use of analytical hierarchy process for selecting and prioritizing islanding ...IJECEIAES
One of the problems that are associated to power systems is islanding
condition, which must be rapidly and properly detected to prevent any
negative consequences on the system's protection, stability, and security.
This paper offers a thorough overview of several islanding detection
strategies, which are divided into two categories: classic approaches,
including local and remote approaches, and modern techniques, including
techniques based on signal processing and computational intelligence.
Additionally, each approach is compared and assessed based on several
factors, including implementation costs, non-detected zones, declining
power quality, and response times using the analytical hierarchy process
(AHP). The multi-criteria decision-making analysis shows that the overall
weight of passive methods (24.7%), active methods (7.8%), hybrid methods
(5.6%), remote methods (14.5%), signal processing-based methods (26.6%),
and computational intelligent-based methods (20.8%) based on the
comparison of all criteria together. Thus, it can be seen from the total weight
that hybrid approaches are the least suitable to be chosen, while signal
processing-based methods are the most appropriate islanding detection
method to be selected and implemented in power system with respect to the
aforementioned factors. Using Expert Choice software, the proposed
hierarchy model is studied and examined.

The power generated by photovoltaic (PV) systems is influenced by
environmental factors. This variability hampers the control and utilization of
solar cells' peak output. In this study, a single-stage grid-connected PV
system is designed to enhance power quality. Our approach employs fuzzy
logic in the direct power control (DPC) of a three-phase voltage source
inverter (VSI), enabling seamless integration of the PV connected to the
grid. Additionally, a fuzzy logic-based maximum power point tracking
(MPPT) controller is adopted, which outperforms traditional methods like
incremental conductance (INC) in enhancing solar cell efficiency and
minimizing the response time. Moreover, the inverter's real-time active and
reactive power is directly managed to achieve a unity power factor (UPF).
The system's performance is assessed through MATLAB/Simulink
implementation, showing marked improvement over conventional methods,
particularly in steady-state and varying weather conditions. For solar
irradiances of 500 and 1,000 W/m2
, the results show that the proposed
method reduces the total harmonic distortion (THD) of the injected current
to the grid by approximately 46% and 38% compared to conventional
methods, respectively. Furthermore, we compare the simulation results with
IEEE standards to evaluate the system's grid compatibility.

Photovoltaic systems have emerged as a promising energy resource that
caters to the future needs of society, owing to their renewable, inexhaustible,
and cost-free nature. The power output of these systems relies on solar cell
radiation and temperature. In order to mitigate the dependence on
atmospheric conditions and enhance power tracking, a conventional
approach has been improved by integrating various methods. To optimize
the generation of electricity from solar systems, the maximum power point
tracking (MPPT) technique is employed. To overcome limitations such as
steady-state voltage oscillations and improve transient response, two
traditional MPPT methods, namely fuzzy logic controller (FLC) and perturb
and observe (P&O), have been modified. This research paper aims to
simulate and validate the step size of the proposed modified P&O and FLC
techniques within the MPPT algorithm using MATLAB/Simulink for
efficient power tracking in photovoltaic systems.
Adaptive synchronous sliding control for a robot manipulator based on neural ...IJECEIAES
Robot manipulators have become important equipment in production lines, medical fields, and transportation. Improving the quality of trajectory tracking for
robot hands is always an attractive topic in the research community. This is a
challenging problem because robot manipulators are complex nonlinear systems
and are often subject to fluctuations in loads and external disturbances. This
article proposes an adaptive synchronous sliding control scheme to improve trajectory tracking performance for a robot manipulator. The proposed controller
ensures that the positions of the joints track the desired trajectory, synchronize
the errors, and significantly reduces chattering. First, the synchronous tracking
errors and synchronous sliding surfaces are presented. Second, the synchronous
tracking error dynamics are determined. Third, a robust adaptive control law is
designed,the unknown components of the model are estimated online by the neural network, and the parameters of the switching elements are selected by fuzzy
logic. The built algorithm ensures that the tracking and approximation errors
are ultimately uniformly bounded (UUB). Finally, the effectiveness of the constructed algorithm is demonstrated through simulation and experimental results.
Simulation and experimental results show that the proposed controller is effective with small synchronous tracking errors, and the chattering phenomenon is
significantly reduced.

A remote laboratory utilizing field-programmable gate array (FPGA) technologies enhances students’ learning experience anywhere and anytime in embedded system design. Existing remote laboratories prioritize hardware access and visual feedback for observing board behavior after programming, neglecting comprehensive debugging tools to resolve errors that require internal signal acquisition. This paper proposes a novel remote embeddedsystem design approach targeting FPGA technologies that are fully interactive via a web-based platform. Our solution provides FPGA board access and debugging capabilities beyond the visual feedback provided by existing remote laboratories. We implemented a lab module that allows users to seamlessly incorporate into their FPGA design. The module minimizes hardware resource utilization while enabling the acquisition of a large number of data samples from the signal during the experiments by adaptively compressing the signal prior to data transmission. The results demonstrate an average compression ratio of 2.90 across three benchmark signals, indicating efficient signal acquisition and effective debugging and analysis. This method allows users to acquire more data samples than conventional methods. The proposed lab allows students to remotely test and debug their designs, bridging the gap between theory and practice in embedded system design.

Efficiently identifying and resolving code smells enhances software project quality. This paper presents a novel solution, utilizing automated machine learning (AutoML) techniques, to detect code smells and apply move method refactoring. By evaluating code metrics before and after refactoring, we assessed its impact on coupling, complexity, and cohesion. Key contributions of this research include a unique dataset for code smell classification and the development of models using AutoGluon for optimal performance. Furthermore, the study identifies the top 20 influential features in classifying feature envy, a well-known code smell, stemming from excessive reliance on external classes. We also explored how move method refactoring addresses feature envy, revealing reduced coupling and complexity, and improved cohesion, ultimately enhancing code quality. In summary, this research offers an empirical, data-driven approach, integrating AutoML and move method refactoring to optimize software project quality. Insights gained shed light on the benefits of refactoring on code quality and the significance of specific features in detecting feature envy. Future research can expand to explore additional refactoring techniques and a broader range of code metrics, advancing software engineering practices and standards.

Rapidly and remotely monitoring and receiving the solar cell systems status parameters, solar irradiance, temperature, and humidity, are critical issues in enhancement their efficiency. Hence, in the present article an improved smart prototype of internet of things (IoT) technique based on embedded system through NodeMCU ESP8266 (ESP-12E) was carried out experimentally. Three different regions at Egypt; Luxor, Cairo, and El-Beheira cities were chosen to study their solar irradiance profile, temperature, and humidity by the proposed IoT system. The monitoring data of solar irradiance, temperature, and humidity were live visualized directly by Ubidots through hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) protocol. The measured solar power radiation in Luxor, Cairo, and El-Beheira ranged between 216-1000, 245-958, and 187-692 W/m 2 respectively during the solar day. The accuracy and rapidity of obtaining monitoring results using the proposed IoT system made it a strong candidate for application in monitoring solar cell systems. On the other hand, the obtained solar power radiation results of the three considered regions strongly candidate Luxor and Cairo as suitable places to build up a solar cells system station rather than El-Beheira.

Over the past few years, the internet of things (IoT) has advanced to connect billions of smart devices to improve quality of life. However, anomalies or malicious intrusions pose several security loopholes, leading to performance degradation and threat to data security in IoT operations. Thereby, IoT security systems must keep an eye on and restrict unwanted events from occurring in the IoT network. Recently, various technical solutions based on machine learning (ML) models have been derived towards identifying and restricting unwanted events in IoT. However, most ML-based approaches are prone to miss-classification due to inappropriate feature selection. Additionally, most ML approaches applied to intrusion detection and prevention consider supervised learning, which requires a large amount of labeled data to be trained. Consequently, such complex datasets are impossible to source in a large network like IoT. To address this problem, this proposed study introduces an efficient learning mechanism to strengthen the IoT security aspects. The proposed algorithm incorporates supervised and unsupervised approaches to improve the learning models for intrusion detection and mitigation. Compared with the related works, the experimental outcome shows that the model performs well in a benchmark dataset. It accomplishes an improved detection accuracy of approximately 99.21%.

With the introduction of computer-aided design (CAD) and finite element analysis (FEA), the field took its first steps towards digitization. These tools allowed engineers to simulate and analyze mechanical systems with greater accuracy and efficiency. However, the sheer volume of data generated by modern engineering systems and the increasing complexity of these systems have necessitated more advanced analytical tools, paving the way for AI.
AI offers the capability to process vast amounts of data, identify patterns, and make predictions with a level of speed and accuracy unattainable by traditional methods. This has profound implications for mechanical engineering, enabling more efficient design processes, predictive maintenance strategies, and optimized manufacturing operations. AI-driven tools can learn from historical data, adapt to new information, and continuously improve their performance, making them invaluable in tackling the multifaceted challenges of modern mechanical engineering.

This paper proposes a microstrip patch antenna (MSPA) in the Ku band for
satellite applications. The antenna is small in size with dimensions of about
40 mm×48 mm×1.59 mm and is fed with a coaxial cable of 50 Ω impedance.
The proposed antenna has a wide bandwidth of 3.03 GHz ranging from
12.8 GHz to 15.8 GHz. To realize the characteristics of wideband the techniques of
defective ground structure (DGS) and etching slots on the radiating element
are adopted. The antenna is modeled on the FR4 substrate. A basic circular
patch is selected for the design of a dual-frequency operation and in the next
step DGS is introduced into the basic antenna and enhanced bandwidth is
achieved at both the frequencies. To attain wider bandwidth two slots are
etched on the radiating element of which one is a square ring slot and the
second one is a circular ring slot. The novelty of the proposed antenna is a
miniaturized design and unique response within the Ku band region which is
applicable for wireless UWB applications with VSWR <2 and an average
gain of 3.6 dB.

1. INTRODUCTION
In the bygone few eons, the microstrip antennas have been used in incredible applications in the
areas of radars, satellite communications, Radio frequency identification, telemetry, aerospace
communications, etc. The microstrip antennas in conventional form have certain limits like thin bandwidth,
polarization impurity, and huge size to exhibit superior performance. Usually, each patch antenna operates at
a frequency for a particular application but with the fast advancements in the current wireless system, the
requirement of wider bandwidth for numerous applications using a single antenna became possible. On the
other side, there is a pronounced demand for wireless devices which are light in weight, minute, and easy to
manufacture at low cost. At present, in radar and space applications, microstrip patch antenna (MPSA) has
great demand due to its low profile, mechanical strength, and compatibility with MMIC designs. These
MSPA are conformable in planar and non-planar surfaces. The limitations like false feed radiation, low
power, low efficiency, and the huge level of cross-polarization radiation are possible Hexagonal shape
monopoles offer a wider bandwidth than the rectangular and square monopoles. Though these shapes
contribute much lesser bandwidth than elliptical and circular patterns, although these bandwidths are
sufficient for several applications [1]. Attaining multiband and dual-band characteristics is very
advantageous, specifically at higher frequencies. Over the period the dual-band antennas are upgraded to

countenance the challenges of present-day wireless systems that are proficient in assimilating multiple
communication standards on to a particular system [2].
To overcome the precincts and depravations, investigators proposed and revealed many techniques
like slots on the patch surface, use of thicker substrate electrically, coax feed stacked antenna, and utilization
of several feeding and impedance matching techniques [3-7]. A Penta-Gasket-Koch technique in Fractal
antenna using three iterations are implemented to obtain a good input impedance matching and linear phase
all through the passband from 1.5-20 GHz [8]. Radiating edges of the circular slotted patch antenna operate
at two frequencies with impedance bandwidth improvement of 26.2% and 22.2% respectively are presented
[9]. A printed compact antenna, of size 30×22 mm2
, are imprinted on both sides of an FR4 substrate. The
ground contains triangle-shaped slots on the uppermost edges, assists to improve the impedance bandwidth to
12.82 GHz [10]. At present wide bandwidth requirement is of the great demand for modern wireless
communication applications. Generally, each antenna performs its function at a single operating frequency,
more antennas are required for different applications which causes space problems. A significant research
effort has done in the multiband antennas design to avoid spacing problems [11, 12]. Slits or slots assimilated
on the ground surface of microwave planar circuits are stated as defected ground structure (DGS). DGS is
approved as an excellent technique for enhancing the parameters of the circuits like narrow bandwidth, small gain,
cross-polarization, and so on [13, 14]. A tri-band circular patch microstrip antenna has slots of two inverted U
shape and a CPW feed with discrete DGS profile shapes of E, F, and U are used. Due to the DGS the
performance parameters of the antennas like return loss, gain VSWR, and bandwidth is improved [15]. With
the advent of technological encroachments, a variety of design techniques for controlling electronically
radiation pattern and enhancement of radiation in boresight for different frequency bands were developed in
antennas [16-19]. FR4 based polygonal patch antenna and a CPW feed antenna are desined to resonate at
UWB [20, 21]. Simple Ku band antenna resonates at 15 GHz is designed with a gain of 9.2 dB is presented
[22]. Planar arrays in Ku band are designed to for applications in Several low-cost feeding network
configurations have been tested [23-25]. There is a vast scope to explore the miniature antennas which
provide wider bandwidth, higher gain, and efficiency. In this paper, a microstrip patch antenna is proposed
which has a wide bandwidth of 3.03 GHz ranging from 12.8 GHz to 15.83 GHz. The technique of defective
ground structure (DGS) and etching slots on the radiating element are used to achieve bandwidth.
2. RESEARCH METHOD
The antenna is designed on FR4 material of dielectric constant 4.4, the thickness of 1.59 mm, and
loss tangent value of 0.02. The overall size of the antenna is 40×48×1.59 mm and is fed with a coaxial cable
of 50 Ω impedance. Initially, three basic antennas were designed with different patches, of which one is a
circular patch, second is a heptagonal patch and the third is a rectangular patch shown in Figure 1.
In step 2, DGS is introduced into the three basic antennas and the performance of the antennas in
terms of the impedance is analyzed and shown in Figure 2. The defected ground structure contains a square
ring slot at the center of the ground and four square slots with a circle at the center at all the four corners of
the ground.
In step 3 to obtain the wide bandwidth, two slots are etched on the patch of which one is a square
ring slot and then the second one is a circular ring slot and next with the combination of both the slotted rings,
the performance metrics are studied. The dimensions of the radiating elements of the three basic patch antennas
Circle, Heptagon, and rectangle are estimated from the following equations given below. The dimensions of the

Figure 4 presents the return loss plot of the Antenna 1 Antenna 2 and Antenna 3. It is observed that
the Antenna 1 is has a dual-frequency of operation while the remaining two antennas have only a single
frequency of operation. As the coaxial feed will excite the modes of the patch antenna, but only one or few
are excited depending on the structure of the patch and feed point location, the resonating frequencies are
observed. Therefore circular patch is chosen over the heptagonal and rectangular patches.
Figure 5 shows the VSWR of Antenna 1 Antenna 2 and Antenna 3. It is observed that Antenna 1 is
having a dual-frequency of operation at 13.06 GHz and 15 GHz while the remaining two antennas are
resonating at 15 GHz. From the above graphs, it is observed that the impedance response is good in the case
of a circular patch. As the coaxial probe feed will excite the modes on the patch, according to the geometry of
the patch the resonating frequencies are observed.

To surge the performance of the antenna, the technique of slotting is applied on the ground. The
DGS consists of a slotted square ring at the center of the ground and four square slots with a circle at the
center at all the four corners of the ground are used instead of normal ground plane. A planar radiating
structure with alterations in the ground was made to develop the performance of the antenna. The
dimensionsof the proposed defective ground structure (DGS) are shown in Table 1.

plane with DGS are shown in Figure 6. Figure 7 shows the return loss plot of the DGS Antennas 4, 5, 6. It is

depicts the VSWR plot of the DGS Antennas 4, 5, 6. It is observed that the Antenna 4 is having VSWR<2 for
the frequencies of 12.7 GHz and 15.0 GHz. From the above outcomes, it is observed that the impedance
response is better in the case of a circular patch antenna with and without DGS. To enhance the performance
of the antennas, slots are imprinted on the radiating element. A planar structure with changes in the radiating
element was considered to progress the performance of the antenna parameters like return loss, VSWR,
and Gain.

3. RESULTS AND ANALYSIS
The design of a slotted patch Ku band patch antenna with DGS for satellite communications is
presented. The presented antenna is a single layer circular patch configuration where a thin layer of FR4
substrate used for etching the microstrip patch element. Antenna 7 contains only a slotted square ring and
Antenna 8 contains an only slotted circular ring. Antenna 9 contains both the square and circular slotted rings.
Figure 9 shows the sequence if developments on the circular patch DGS antenna with slotted patch
surface. Figure 10 shows the return loss plot of the Antennas 7, 8, 9 with DGS and slots. It is observed that
the antenna 7 is has a very low level of impedance matching while the antenna 8 has a wide bandwidth but
the antenna 9 has a much wider bandwidth of 3.03 GHz ranging from 12.8 GHz to 15.83 GHz. The current
path length is enlarged due to slots etched on the patch surface, which leads to additional inductance in series.

The wide bandwidth is generated as the resonant circuits become coupled. Figure 11 depicts the VSWR plot
of the Antenna 9 model with DGS and the slotted patch. The proposed antenna is having wide bandwidth of

three feeding locations. Here it is observed that depending upon the position of the feeding point a wide
bandwidth and triple frequency response are seen. Parametric analysis is performed on feed location variable
in high-frequency structural simulator (HFSS) software and observed that at (0.7) the antenna is resonating at
triple frequencies and at feed position (0.3) wide bandwidth is observed. Table 3 presents the performance
assessment of the proposed antenna with referred antennas from the literature. From this table, it is firmly
agreed that the performance of the proposed antenna is much better in terms of gain with 3.67 dB and the
smaller in size than the reported UWB antennas.

4. CONCLUSION
A low cost, wide bandwidth microstrip patch antenna ranging from 12.8 GHz to 15.83 GHz is proposed.
The 3.03 GHz bandwidth is generated by utilizing the techniques of defective ground structure (DGS) and
etching slots on the radiating element. The analysis is performed on the selection of the shape of the patch
and its performance with the proposed DGS is also studied, finally, a slotted circular patch antenna with DGS
is analyzed. Enhancement of bandwidth is accomplished by etching with two ring slots on the radiating
element and the effects of the ring slots are presented. With the achieved bandwidth and other antenna
parameters, it is concluded that the proposed antenna is suitable for ultra wide-band wireless applications.
The novelty of the proposed antenna is small in size and the impedance response is within the Ku band
region with VSWR<2 and exhibits an average gain of 3.6 dB.
