Abstract

The proposed antenna achieves a peak directivity of 5 dB and boasts a notably high front-to-back ratio of 60. Thorough observations and analyses, including parameters such as return loss, gain, radiation patterns, co-polarization, and cross-polarization, have been meticulously conducted using AN-soft HFSS v13. This comprehensive examination aims to elucidate the intricate behavior and performance characteristics of the antenna. Operating effectively within the frequency range of 0.6 GHz to 1.5 GHz, the proposed antenna design caters to crucial applications such as GSM, GNSS, and a spectrum of other utilities encompassing the UHF and VHF frequency bands. The strategic placement of metallic plates surrounding the antenna plays a pivotal role in enhancing its performance, bolstering its gain, directivity, and overall efficiency. In conclusion, this article introduces an innovative and compact dual-band cross-dipole antenna configuration, enriched by the integration of metallic plates, which significantly enhances its performance."
