Abstract
A small ring antenna working at 2.45 GHz was designed in this paper, a small disk-coupled structure was applied to feed an inner-hole-biased ring patch, contributing to not only improving the impedance characteristics of the antenna but also reducing the size. The simulation results show that the designed patch area is only 70.7% of that of the traditional circular microstrip antenna on the premise of ensuring good bandwidth and gain performance; the -10 dB bandwidth of S11 parameter is 62 MHz; the gain of the maximum direction is 7.11 dB; and the circular polarization of the antenna is also realized. This design has also been compared with several conventional designs, It is proved that the antenna has good comprehensive performance, and the antenna feed structure is simple, easy to process, very conducive to engineering applications. Finally, the feasibility of this technology was verified by contrasting the measured data with the simulation data.
