Abstract

This paper illustrates the composition of photovoltaic solar cells in planar antenna geometry. The nature of a solar cell kept intact in addition to receive and transmit electromagnetic waveforms. There shown a good agreement with measured and simulated results. Furthermore the application field of this new structure in wireless communication systems is summarized. Experimental and full-wave simulation results of the presented solar planar antenna, SOLPLANT, operating within the frequency band of 1.9-11.6 GHz, confirm the suitability of the proposed design for wideband communication systems with a wide impedance bandwidth of 18.36%, 452.3 MHz, and a high gain of 9.102 dB. In this paper, cross shape defected ground structure is projected to improve the Bandwidth, return loss, efficiency and compactness of micro strip patch antenna. The performance of antenna is characterized by the shape, dimension and location of defected ground structure at specific position on ground plane. These antennas have significant advantages such as low profile, light weight, relatively low manufacturing cost, and polarization diversity. This paper compares the performance of micro-strip patch antenna having radiating elliptical shape with varying DGS profile. To compare and analyse the performance, High Frequency Structure Simulator (HFSS) software is used.
