Abstract
In recent years, many significant developments and high attention are being paid to ZigBee technology since the license free ISM frequency spectrum for commercial communications and applications. The attractive nature of ZigBee coupled with the rapid growth in wireless communication systems has made ZigBee an outstanding technology to replace the conventional and popular wireless technology in use today like Bluetooth. U-Slot Patch Dual Slit Vertical with Ground Square Design Microstrip Antenna is presented in this paper for 2.4 GHZ band applications. These applications include ZigBee. The potential of ZigBee technology is enormous due to its tremendous advantages such as the capability to provide extremely fast data rates at short transmission distances while requiring very low power dissipation. Recently, printed antennas have played a major rule in development of antennas with different frequencies. The construction of proposed antenna is done on FR-4 epoxy substrate with thickness of 1.6 mm and epsilon r =4.4. technique on ground plane using proximity coupled feed, The proposed antenna operates 2.4 GHZ with good Vertical radiation patterns, its narrow band impedance bandwidth protect it from interference problem from other applications in ISM band. Proposed antenna has compact size of (12x12) mm2 The conductor material uses copper with a thickness of 0.035 mm. It has advantages in simple design, narrow bandwidth, and compact in size and easy in fabrication. The measured result is in good agreement with simulated one, that worked at 2.4 GHz frequency with Vertical radiation pattern, gain ≥- 3dBi, input impedance 50 ohm, Returnloss leq -13 dB and VSWR leq 1.7
