Abstract

In this paper a design of a Triple Band Off-Centre-Fed Microstrip Antenna (TBOCFMA) with dual radiation patch on low temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) technology operating at 5.8 GHz, 6.3 GHz and 10 GHz frequency band is presented. This paper develops dual radiating patch with the aperture slot at the ground between second radiation patch that has been fed with off-centred feedline technique to create another resonant frequency. The advantages of the low thickness of LTCC ceramic substrate (Ferro A6M) compare to the conventional substrates with multilayer package has been benefited in this paper. The proposed concept of this idea have the gain at the proposed frequencies of 3.53 dB, 4.75 dB and 0.665 dB respectively has been simulated with CST 2011.
