The aim of this paper is to present a simulation and analysis of a rectangular microstrip patch antenna with three different structural modifications to reduce the size of the antenna. We have tried to decrease the size of the antenna by inducing three different shaped slits inside the patch of the antenna. All these models have been designed and analyzed using CST Microwave Studio software. For designing the antennas, Flame Retardant 4 (FR-4 lossy) has been used as the substrate material with a dielectric constant of Ԑr=4.3. The antenna works at the frequency of 2.4 GHz. Performance characteristics such as return loss S11 parameter<-10 dB, directivity, side lobe level, gain and bandwidth of each of the modified designs are obtained and compared with the original design. We were able to reduce the size by maximum 18% and minimum 7% by only inducing the slits, while maintain the performance.

Continuous partial discharge (PD) monitoring and early PD detection is important in making sure the necessary preventative measures can be taken accordingly. This paper proposed a T-shaped partial ground microstrip patch antenna that is able to detect PD signal within the UHF range. The antenna was designed and simulated using CST Microwave Studio. The antenna was then fabricated using FR4 substrate material and tested for reception test. The simulation results and the analysis from the fabricated antenna confirmed that the proposed antenna able to detect PD signal at UHF range (specifically at about 500 MHz) and fulfilled the design requirements in terms of the return loss, VSWR, bandwidth and gain. Reception test had confirmed that the proposed antenna was able to detect PD signals that are located at maximum distance, ranges from 37 cm to 70 cm (depending on the PD signal strength). The proposed antenna also had succesfully detected PD occurances at 300 MHz to 700 MHz. In conclusion, the proposed T-shaped partial ground microstrip patch antenna had been successfully designed and able to detect PD signal emitted in the UHF range.

A diamond-shaped patch antenna with slots for desirable return loss, gain, and bandwidth was designed to achieve the intended goal. ROGERS 5880 was chosen as the substrate material and the antenna was simulated using CST (Computer simulation Technology) software. The designed microstrip patch antenna has a bandwidth from 2.12 to 9.24 GHz. The proposed antenna was put on the human body and had a SAR value of 1.44 W/kg, which was determined to be within the acceptable limit of 1.6 W/kg. Hence, the antenna can be used for on-body communication which is not detrimental to the human body.

In this paper, a 28 GHz broadband microstrip patch antenna (MSPA) for 5G wireless applications is presented. The Rogers RT/Duroid5880 substrate material, with a dielectric constant of 2.2, the thickness of 0.3451 mm, and loss tangent of 0.0009, is used for the studied antenna to operate at 28 GHz center frequency. The proposed design of antenna is simulated by using CST studio suite. The simulation results highlight that the studied antenna has a return loss of -54.49 dB, a bandwidth of 1.062 GHz, a gain of 7.554 dBi. Besides, radiation efficiency and the sidelobe level of the proposed MSPA are 98% and 18.4 dB, respectively. As compared to previous MSPA designs reported in the recent scientific literature, the proposed rectangular MSPA has achieved significantly improved performance in terms of the bandwidth, beam-gain, return loss, sidelobe level, and radiation efficiency. Hence, it is a potential contender antenna type for emerging 5G wireless communication applications.

This paper presents the design and simulation of a microstrip patch antenna (MPA) which is modeled by placing several rectangular copper layer with conductive characteristics on a substrate material with dielectric constant 3.0 and 22x18x1 mm3 geometry. This microstrip path was designed with copper material which had a very thin thickness for patch and ground. In this study, a change in resonance frequency and return loss characteristics were observed for several substrate thickness values. The radiation characteristics of the single and dual band microstrip patch antennas (MPAs) are analysed in the frequency range of 5 &amp;ndash; 25 GHz. The microstrip patch antenna (MPA) radiate at a frequency of 15.32 GHz with -45 dB return loss. For the designed single and dual band MPA design, some electromagnetic properties such as return loss, surface current and radiation patterns were simulated. The characteristic of goods and chattels of the proposed antenna are analyzed by using the software CST Microwave Studio.

This article is about a single band microstrip patch antenna used for the 5G applications. And this antenna is suitable for the millimeter wave frequency. The patch antenna design consists of 2 E shaped slots and 1 H shaped slot. These slots are loaded on the radiating patch with the 50 ohms microstrip feed line. For the simulation purpose, Rogers’s RT5880 dielectric substrate with relative permittivity of 2.2 and loss tangent of 0.0009 is used. The design and simulation of the antenna is done using HFSS (High Frequency Structure Simulator) software. The results are simulated for the parameters Return loss, VSWR, 3D Radiation pattern. The proposed antenna has a return loss of -42.4383 at 59 GHz millimeter wave frequency. 


In recent study, in the growth of wireless technology single antenna that works with a specific frequency is becoming outdated. The antenna which is capable to work dynamically is encouraged. To make an antenna to work dynamically, modification in any of the antenna characteristics can be applied. In this proposed work, the antenna which can reconfigure its frequency is designed and analyzed. Microstrip patch antenna is most popular printed type antenna which is suitable for diverse applications. The antenna design consists of three PIN diodes which are placed in different positions on the patch. Depending upon the switching state of PIN diode the antenna can operate in different frequency ranges. The frequency range obtained ranges from 1.38 GHz to 3.24 GHz. Return loss value, VSWR obtained is of optimum level. The various gain of antenna is obtained in simulation. The analysis of the antenna is done in ANSYS HFSS software.
