Summary:
In this paper, a triple band capacitive-fed circular patch antenna with arc-shaped slots is proposed for 1.575 GHz GPS and Wi-Fi 2.4/5.2 GHz communications on unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) appliactions. In order to enhance the impedance bandwidth of the antenna, a double-layered geometry is applied in this design with a circular feeding disk placed between two layers. The antenna covers 2380 - 2508 MHz and 5100 - 6030 MHz for full support of the Wi-Fi communication between UAV and ground base station. The foam-Duroid stacked geometry can further enhance the bandwidths for both GPS and Wi-Fi bands when compared to purely Duroid form. The simulation and measurement results are reported in this paper.
