Abstract
A ground plane reduced circular microstrip antenna resonating at multiband of frequencies 3.5, 5.2, 6.3 and 8.4 GHz is developed. The proposed antenna gives a wide impedance bandwidth of 75% in the frequency range 3.2 to 7 GHz, covering a part of the UWB operating frequency range. The antenna is coaxially fed, supported by a rectangular strip above the ground plane. The effect of strip width on the variation in impedance bandwidth of the proposed antenna is studied using artificial neural networks, and a comparative study is made. A \({2\times2}\) multiple input multiple output system is designed using the developed antenna, and the mutual coupling of the proposed antenna system is analyzed for various separations and frequencies by using artificial neural networks.
