Design of 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz Microstrip Antenna on Wi-Fi Network

Abstract

Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity) is one of the most popular wireless communication standards in the market. This technology is widely used both in offices, shopping centers, campuses and other public places. To optimize the Wi-Fi communication system antenna optimization is needed. The role of the antenna is to transmit voice communication and data communication. However, due to the influence of several factors, the signals received by users often experience instability. The design of the trident microstrip antenna aims to find the microstrip antenna formula needed by Wi-Fi technology. So, the research will design a trident microstrip antenna for Wi-Fi that works at 2.40 GHz and 5.80 GHz frequencies. The software needed to design this antenna is computer simulation technology (CST). From the simulation results for the 2.4 GHz trident microstrip antenna has a return loss value of -18,514 dB, a VSWR value of 1.26 dB and a Gain value of 4.71 dB. As for the simulation results of the 5.8 GHz microstrip antenna has a return loss value of -40,437 dB, a VSWR value of 1.02 dB and a Gain value of 4.19 dB. As for the measurement results of the 2.4 GHz trident microstrip antenna has a return loss value of -24,767 dB, a VSWR value of 1,122 dB and a Gain value of 3.24 dB. As for the measurement results of the 5.8 GHz microstrip antenna has a return loss value of -37,554 dB, a VSWR value of 1,027 dB and a Gain value of 3.57 dB. Where the overall results of simulations and measurements can be said 5.8 GHz microstrip antenna has good performance results for the parameters needed.
