Abstract

Abstract: A wideband, compact and low profile microstrip patch antenna (MSPA) design for wireless fidelity and C-band considerations is very advantageous in various applications. The antenna proposed in this paper consists of a simple laterally inverted Swastik-shaped patch with the microstrip line fed and a rectangular ground plane. The antenna has patch dimension of 15mm×12mm, substrate dimension of 20mm×20mm overall size, prototyped on FR4 material of excellent physical and electrical properties, thickness of 0.5 mm and a dielectric constant of 4.4. According to the software simulation results, the proposed MSPA displays remarkable return loss and voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) and operates at the Wi-Fi frequency of 5 GHz. In addition to this, it may also be operated in the frequency range of 4-8 GHz. The results obtained from the measurements are similar to the fabricated antenna after testing using the vector network analyzer (VNA).
