Circular Microstrip Antenna with Electromagnetic Band Gap on Polyester Mylar Film Substrate for Metal Detection Applications in River Prawns
By
Progress In Electromagnetics Research B, Vol. 112, 1-14, 2025
Abstract
This paper presents the design of a circular-shape microstrip patch antenna structure with nine circular Electromagnetic Band Gaps (EBGs), which have been arranged in a flower shape to increase the antenna gain and be more effective in detecting metals in river prawns. Test results show that the frequency of 1.50 GHz has the greatest effect on metal detection in river prawns. The circular microstrip antenna with the EBG structure is fabricated with a copper sheet and a thickness of 0.03 cm. The radiator patch has a radius of 1.615 cm, and the EBGs, with a radius of 0.8 cm, are arranged around a circular patch antenna structure. The substrate uses a mylar polyester film sheet that has a thickness of 0.05 cm; the dielectric value is 3.2; and the impedance bandwidth of the operating frequency range is 5.26% (1.48-1.56 GHz). This proposed antenna can increase the gain up to 43.76%, with a value of 5.19 dBi. In the application for detecting metal in river prawns, the distance for placing the Tx and Rx antennas to detect metal in river prawns is 6 cm. This circular microstrip antenna can detect metals ranging from 0.5 to 3 cm and above, with an average power value ranging from -12.38 to -18.84 dBm.
