Microstrip patch antenna design for wireless network applications

Abstract

Advances in communication systems involve the promotion of low cost, low weight, light weight and low profile antennas has been improved over last few years. It has capable of maintaining higher performance over a large range of frequency spectrum. This technological trend has focused a great deal of effort on growing of micro strip patch antennas due to its unalienable characteristics. It meets the requirement of modern communication devices. In this work, the inset feed technique was used to present the design and simulation of a compact rectangular slot patch antenna for double frequency operation at 5.27 GHz. The simulation of the built antenna was performed using the 2019 studio suite of computer simulation technology (CST) and MATLAB which will be used to measure the parameters. The substrate used for the proposed antenna is the four flame-resistant (FR-4) with a dielectric constant of 4.3 and a loss tangent of 0.023. The antenna proposed could find applications in Wireless Local Area (Wi-Fi) and Bluetooth technology.
