Item Design and Simulation of an improved bandwidth V-slotted Patch Antenna for WiMAX(IEEE, 28-Oct-2016) Bhuyan, Nasimul Hyder Maruf; Ahmed, Mamun; Khazaee, Masoud; Ali, ZorazeA conventional rectangular V-slotted patch antenna is commonly used for 2.4 GHz Wireless local area network (WLAN) applications. The microstrip patch antenna has the inherent characteristic of narrow bandwidth that limits the use of rectangular V-slotted patch antenna for broadband technologies, like world-wide interoperability for microwave access (WiMAX). In this paper, a corner truncated scheme is designed and simulation to improve the operational bandwidth of the subjected antenna to make it operational for WiMAX (2~6 GHZ) applications. The simulation carried out it is shown that by truncating the corners of rectangular V-slotted patch antenna, results in enhanced operational bandwidth and better return loss for WiMAX.
