This paper presents design a High Gain Small Size Microstrip Patch Antenna for X-Band applications such as Moving target RADAR sensor, Motion detector, Microwave camera, Ground Penetration RADAR sensors, wall penetration scanners and many medical applications. Now we have to selected circular geometry of micro strip patch antenna because circular geometry overcomes edge effect of antenna. The proposed antenna is designed to operate for X-band at the centre frequency of 10 GHz. The proposed Circular patch antenna is compact and easy to body mount with a high efficiency. The compactness makes it a better choice as compare with other antenna in the X-band. The proposed antenna shows a very sharp return loss of -46 dB at 10 GHz having narrow pattern with a good gain of 4.7 dBi. This enables its use in high directional applications. The paper represents the designing steps, and the simulation result obtained. The software used here for this circular shaped microstrip antenna is IE3D. Various parameters such as gain, power, radiation pattern, and S11 of the antenna are mentioned.

In this article, a high gain and compact 4 × 4 circularly polarized microstrip patch antenna array is reported for the data transmission of the next-generation small satellite. The radiating element of the circularly polarized antenna array is realized by the conventional model of the patch with truncated corners. A compact two-stage sequential rotational phase feeding is adopted that broadens the operating bandwidth of the 4 × 4 array. A small stub is embedded in the sequential rotational feed, which results in better performance in terms of the S-parameters and sequential phases at the output ports than sequential rotational feed without open stub. A prototype of the array is fabricated and measured. Fulfilling the application requirements of the next-generation small satellites, the array has the left-handed circularly polarized gain of more than 12 dBic with the axial ratio level below 1.5 dB in the ±10∘ angular space with respect to the broadside direction for the whole bandwidth from 8.05 GHz to 8.25 GHz. Moreover, the left-handed circularly polarized gain varies from 15 to 15.5 dBic in the desired band. The radiation patterns are measured; both the co- and X-pol are validated.

Microstrip antennas that can operate in single and multiple frequency bands are required in various wireless communication devices. A single patch, square shaped microstrip patch antenna having high directivity and gain is proposed in this paper. The geometry of proposed antenna is optimized using Genetic Algorithm (GA) to operate in X-Band for wideband applications. The proposed antenna design exhibits a wide operating bandwidth 550 MHz (simulated) and 450 MHz (measured), high gain and directivity of about 8.35 dB (simulated) making it suitable for wideband applications. The proposed antenna design works in X-band which has weatherproof characteristics and supports easy communication of voice, data, images and HD videos. The attractiveness of the GA design over the traditional design methods is its ability to achieve the desired performance by using a simple design of single patch antenna.

In this paper, a series-fed milimeter-wave microstrip patch antenna array operating at 28 GHz is presented for wearable radio-frequency (RF) energy harvesting applications. The antenna array is made of 4×4 rectangular microstrip elements on a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrate to provide conformability when directly attached on human body parts. A 4-way Wilkinson power divider is connected to the array for RF power combining. The overall size of the antenna is 47×28×0.25 mm. The half-power beamwidth (HPBW) of the antenna array can be increased up to 151.9⁰ via structural deformation making it suitable for energy harvesting applications. The performance of the antenna array is investigated in terms of impedance matching, gain and radiation pattern. The average simulated specific absorption rate (SAR) of the antenna is 0.52 W/kg which is well below the safety limit of 1.6 W/kg averaged over 1 g of tissue for 100 mW of input power.
