The enhancement of bandwidth is carried out by putting a square metallic plate in the middle of substrate. Since a thin layer of dielectric substrate increases quality factor (Q factor) of the antenna which affects of narrowing bandwidth response, hence the proposed antenna implements multiple layers of FR4 epoxy dielectric substrate in overcoming the problem. The SIW cavity-backed slot antenna is simply excited by a coaxial type of probe extended into square metallic plate which is located at center of the cavity. Some parametric studies are offered for better understanding of the proposed antenna characteristics such as number of slot, angle of tilted slot, separation between slots, and position of square metallic plate. It is found that the use of square metallic plate could produce the second resonant frequency affecting to the bandwidth enhancement. The characterization result shows that the -10dB working bandwidth is about 175MHz in the frequency range of 1.9GHz to 2.075GHz with the fractional bandwidth of 9.2%.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Author keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Antenna characteristics,Bandwidth enhancement,Cavity backed slot antennas,Dielectric substrates,Fractional bandwidths,Frequency ranges,Parametric study,Quality factors[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Indexed keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Cavity-backed slot antenna,resonant frequency,substrate integrated waveguide (SIW),working bandwidth[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Funding details” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”DOI” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]https://doi.org/10.1109/ICWT.2017.8284145[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_column_text]Widget Plumx[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
