Background: Modern communication devices are very much dependent on the operation of low profile antennas. The objective of this paper is to perform the design and simulation of a rectangular microstrip patch antenna at a resonant frequency of 9.5 GHz. Methods: Design of the antenna is given with various substrates like FR4, Teflon and Ceramic substrates at the desired frequency. For each substrate, the performance of the antenna is measured in terms of its return loss and Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR). Results: Ansoft High-Frequency Structure Simulator is used to simulate the antenna characteristics. Conclusion: Performance characteristics of the antenna with three different substrates are compared to identify the substrate that provides the accurate return loss and VSWR.

In this paper, a wideband rectangular patch antenna for X-band applications is proposed. The antenna is printed on an FR4-epoxy substrate with thickness 1.58 mm and the patch dimensions are 9.13 mm by 6.27 mm. The design is simulated using Advanced Design System software to yield a return loss of -33.53 dB at 10.58 GHz resonant frequency. The drawbacks of patch antenna such as narrow bandwidth and low gain are improved through this design to provide good gain characteristics. The benefits of microstrip patch antenna including low profile, low weight, ease of fabrication etc. makes it an ideal choice for design optimization to effectively support mobile, military requirements, wireless and satellite communication

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.

The return loss of metamaterial loaded microstrip patch antenna obtained at the resonant frequency 2.4GHz. The metamaterial structure printed on FR4 substrate at hight of 1.6mm from the ground plane. The FR4 substrate has 4.4 dielectric constant.These metamterial structures are periodic in nature and possesses negative permittivity and negative permeability. The greatest advantage of metamaterial loading will be miniaturization. This metamterial loaded rectangular patch antenna is simulated and tested using HFSS Simulator, where an electromagnetic analysis tool is used. The fabricated antennas results are measured using Vector Network Analyzer (VNA).

Radars demand low profile and light weight antenna subsystems. Microstrip antennas possess these characteristics and serve as an alternative to the bulky and heavy weight reflector/slotted waveguide array antennas, thus an ideal choice for radars. Here, a single line fed microstrip antenna with pierced corners is designed. This antenna has improved parameters compared to the conventional square microstrip antenna. The main problem encountered is in designing the patch antenna with optimum values for various antenna parameters. In order to solve this problem, an alternative solution used is Artificial Neural Networks (ANN). The antenna is also optimized using Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO). The parameters considered in all the cases are return loss (S11) and VSWR which was designed using FEKO software. The designed antennas are found to radiate in the C-band, which covers frequencies in the range 5-8GHz, applicable in most of the modern radars. The simulation design is carried out using CADFEKO suite.

This paper presents the design of a dual-band microstrip patch antenna for Wi-Fi that operates at 2.5 GHz and 5.8 GHz. The antenna contains a rectangular patch with two rectangular slots. The first slot is incorporated in the patch while the second slot is incorporated in the ground plane. The antenna is based on a microstrip fed rectangular patch printed on the FR-4 epoxy substrate with a dielectric constant of 4.4 and a thickness of 1.6 mm with patch size 24 mm × 21 mm. The simulated result shows that the realized antenna successfully works on dual-band and subsequently achieves a bandwidth of 100 MHz and 200 MHz as well as the return loss about -29.9 dB and -15.16 dB for 2.5 GHz and 5.8 GHz respectively. A stable omnidirectional radiation pattern is observed in the operating frequency bands. The antenna meets the required specifications for 802.11 WLAN standards.


This paper presents the design and simulation of a rectangular microstrip patch antenna with enhanced results. Antennas are playing the most important key role in wireless communication systems and especially microstrip patch antenna is the simplest and best form for mobile communication systems. Therefore, the design of antenna for mobile satellite communication and space to earth communication is described in this proposed work. The working of rectangular micro strip patch antenna is studied and the effect of height of the substrate on antenna performance is analyzed and the results are plotted. It has been noticed that the height of substrate should be neither small nor large. The effect of inserting a slot in the patch is also observed in this paper. Return Loss results are plotted for the designed structure and it is noticed that return loss is almost doubled by inserting a slot. Further two symmetrical slots are inserted in the patch and the respective results are plotted. Insertion of two slots gave multiple operating frequencies to the antenna with a compromise of s11. The simulation of proposed structures of antennas is done using ANSYS HFSS (high-frequency structure simulator) which is commercially used as a finite element method solver for electromagnetic structures. A sphere with human brain characteristics is created and average SAR (specific absorption ratio) is plotted on the head model. The proposed antenna has enhanced return loss of -52dB and VSWR of 1.005 at 2.24GHz. This work also introduces multiple operating frequencies using two slots of same size.
