Summary:
This paper described the design, simulation and fabrication of a broadband microstrip smart antenna. The smart antenna is a combination of seven element log periodic antenna with two bandpass filters. The log periodic antenna provides a wideband of 700 MHz. The filters operate at the best value of 5.3 GHz and 5.74 GHz with return loss at these frequencies -24.43 dB and -27.864 dB. The smart antenna was designed and simulated using GENESYS and measured using Scalar Network Analyzer (SNA). The measurement results agree well to with the results from simulation.
