Abstract
In modern wireless communication, microstrip antennas are widely equipped in mobiles, laptops and other portable devices due to their advantages like small size, light weight, low cost and easy integration with planar structures. Moreover, the research evolution in these antennas, which are required for portable wireless communication system applications, is advancing day by day. So, it is essential to notice the research and improvements happening in the area of microstrip antennas for the intended applications. The main objective of this paper is to discuss numerous microstrip antennas for GSM, Wi-Fi and Wi-MAX 2500 applications. The GSM applications cover GSM 900, GSM 1800 (DCS 1800) and GSM 1900 (PCS 1900) bands while the Wi-Fi applications cover 2.4GHz and 5.8GHz bands. Sometimes, these antennas also operate in various bands of GPS, LTE 2300, LTE 2600, UMTS and Wi-MAX 3500 along with the GSM, Wi-Fi and Wi-MAX 2500 bands. This paper initially presents various conventional microstrip antennas that include single, dual, triple and multi band antennas. Then, it reports frequency reconfigurable narrow band antennas and finally multi-port microstrip antennas. It also explains merits and demerits of all antenna categories. Finally, this paper helps to explore and design suitable microstrip antennas for the required applications.
