Abstract: This research article gives a detailed insight of the design, simulation of a compact circular shaped microstrip patch antenna that is fed using a coplanar waveguide feed (CPW for practical wireless communication applications). The antenna is typically designed for Ultra wideband (1.46-6GHz), Bluetooth (2.4GHz), ZIGBEE (2.4GHz), WLAN (5.15- 5.35 GHz and 5.725- 5.825), Wi-Fi (2.4-2.485GHz) and HIPERLAN-2(5.15 – 5.35 GHz and 5.470 -5.725GHz) wireless applications with stop band characteristics for the H (partial C band). The proposed antenna has an overall packaged structure dimensions of 78 x75 x1.605 mm3 and is fabricated on FR4 substrate as a circular patch antenna with a coplanar ground .The commercially available laminate FR4 substrate that is used has a dielectric constant of 4.4, height of 1.6mm and a loss tangent of 0.0024.The prospective antenna shows a simulated impedance bandwidth of 4.54 GHz. The coplanar waveguide feeding used with this antenna helps in improving antenna performance in terms of its impedance bandwidth as this geometry helps in creating multiple current loops at the antenna structure, thereby exciting nearby frequencies that merge to show a broadband of operation. The antenna’s operational bandwidth is also improved by the concept of modified ground, in which triangular and rectangular shapes are added symmetrically on both sides of ground plane that provide a better fringing effect and hence an improved bandwidth.
