Abstract

In this paper, An Equiangular Spiral Slot Patch Antenna has been designed and simulated at operating frequency range between 4 GHz to 10 GHz. This antenna is modeled on a thin single sided Rogers RO4003C substrate with dielectric constant of 3. 38. The proposed design is achieved by cutting a equiangular spiral slot on the circular patch. The modeling and simulation of the proposed Antenna has been done with Finite Element Method (FEM) based software COMSOL Multiphysics. A parametric analysis has been done with variation in geometry of Spiral slot. The results of the proposed Equiangular Spiral Slot Antenna acclaim its use for C-band applications and also demonstrate its wideband operation in the range 4 GHz to 10 GHz.
