The paper presents an artificial magnetic conductor (AMC) structure to enhance the gain of the double microstrip patch antenna. By placing this kind of metamaterial in between the two Rogers RT5880 substrates, the antenna achieved lots of improvement especially in terms of size miniaturization, bandwidth, return loss, gain and efficiency. The antenna is intended to operate at 16 GHz where the prospect fifth generation (5G) spectrum might be located. Integration of AMC structure into the proposed antenna helps to improve nearly 16.3% of gain and almost 23.6% of size reduction.

A microstrip patch antenna is low profile antenna mounted over a high impedance electromagnetic bandgap (EBG) substrate is proposed. In this paper, Microstrip patch antenna with rectangular EBG structure is proposed and studied. The proposed antenna has compact structure with a total size of 29.44x38.036mm2 . The designed antenna resonates at Particular Single frequency with improved return loss, VSWR and gain. The resonant frequency of the antenna 2.4GHz without and with EBG and improved return loss of -17.61dB and -18.30dB. With rectangular EBG the antenna gives improved gain of 2.09 dB. The Proposed antenna is simulated by using Simulation software ie.(IE3D) and simulated results are in good with practical antenna characteristics.

A microstrip patch antenna with bandwidth enhancement by means of artificial magnetic conductor (AMC)/electromagnetic band-gap structure (EGB) is presented. The electrical characteristics of the embedded structure are evaluated using MoM simulations. The manufactured prototypes are characterized in terms of return loss, gain, and radiation pattern measurements in an anechoic chamber.

This paper researches how the various iterations affect the characteristics of Minkowski fractal microstrip patch antenna. A 2-itration Minkowski fractal reader antenna is designed. In order to increase antenna bandwidth, the structure of a novel modified antenna is presented to operate at 2.45GHz with the return loss of -35.15dB and bandwidth of 180MHz, the maximum gain of which is 7.83dB. Besides, with its size of 30mm ×30mm, this antenna area is decreased by 43.75% and the width is decreased by 25% compared to normal square patch antenna. The simulation results show that it has a good size-reduction feature that can well meet the requirement for handheld RFID reader under certain size and characteristics.

A microstrip patch antenna is designed for a wearable antenna. The performance of microstrip patch antenna loaded with reactive impedance surface (RIS) is described in terms of gain, bandwidth and return loss. The antenna is investigated in two conditions which are conventional microstrip antenna with RIS and without RIS. The designed antenna is also aimed at size reduction therefore it will be suitable for a wearable application. This antenna which is made fully using textile and it is designed for operation in the 2.45 GHz band. The performance of microstrip patch antenna loaded with RIS is described in terms of gain, bandwidth, return loss and radiation pattern. The antenna designed with RIS operates at 2.45 GHz. Bandwidth enhancement is achieved with RIS where the designed antenna can cater frequency from 2.4 GHz to 3 GHz. A gain enhancement is achieved of 20% is achieved compared with the conventional patch antenna. Although the size of the patch is reduced with the introduction of RIS, the overall size of the antenna with the substrate is almost similar to the conventional patch antenna. However, the performance of the antenna is greatly enhanced with the use of RIS.
