This paper presents novel low-cost single- and dual-band microstrip patch antennas. The proposed antennas are realized on a square microstrip patch etched symmetrically with four slots. The antenna is designed to have low cost and reduced size to use in Internet of things (IoT) applications. The antennas provide a reconfigurable architecture that allows operation in different wireless communication bands. The proposed structure can be adjusted to operate either in single band or in dual-band operation. Two prototypes are implemented and evaluated. The first structure works at a single resonance frequency (f1 = 2.4 GHz); however, the second configuration works at two resonance frequencies (f1 = 2.4 GHz and f2 = 2.8 GHz) within the same size. These antennas use a low-cost FR-4 dielectric substrate. The 2.4 GHz is allotted for the industrial, scientific, and medical (ISM) band, and the 2.8 GHz is allocated to verify the concept and can be adjusted to meet the user’s requirements. The measurement of the fabricated antennas closely matches the simulated results.

ABSTRACTSemi-insulating (SI) silicon carbide (SiC) was evaluated as a candidate material for dielectric substrate for patch antennas suitable for monolithic antenna integration on a SiC semiconductor chip. Computer simulations of the return loss were conducted to design microstrip patch antennas operating at 10 GHz. The antennas were fabricated using SI 4H-SiC substrates, with Ti-Pt-Au stacks for ground planes and patches. A good agreement between the experimental results and simulation was obtained. The radiation performance of the designed SiC based patch antennas was as good as that normally achieved from antennas fabricated using conventional RF materials such as FR4 and Rogers. The antennas had the gain around 2 dBi at 10 GHz, which is consistent with the conventional antennas of a similar size.

Modern communication system is based on wideband communication. A wideband antenna is designed in such a way that it will receive a wide range of frequencies. Microwave frequency spectrum is classified as ranging from 1GHz to 100GHz and this range is divided into a number of frequency bands. These bands are defined as L Band, S Band, C Band, X Band etc. To fulfil the demands of many users patch antenna is designed in these bands. Among different types of antenna, Microstrip Patch Antenna is most popular in wireless communication system. Microstrip patch Antennas have many advantages over other familiar antennas because microstrip patch antennas are of low profile, low cost, low volume, light weight. Low efficiency, low gain and narrow bandwidth of patch antenna create major challenge to a designer. Slots are created on patch for preparing antenna forwideband applications. In this paper, we have surveyed upon various types of Microstrip Patch Antenna, feeding techniques, design equation Substrate Characteristics, Simulation tools etc.


Selecting an appropriate substrate material for the design of microstrip patch antenna for various applications is a very important step in antenna design. This paper presents a work of various substrates materials used for the design of low cost inset feed rectangular microstrip antenna for WLAN, WiMax, LTE, C-band and X-band applications. The substrates used are FR-4 epoxy, foam, polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS). The antennas were designed, optimized and simulated using HFSS 15.0. Return loss, voltage standing wave ratio and gain analysis is carried out for these antennas. The measurement of reflection coefficient of the fabricated antennas is done using Agilent PNA-L series vector network analyzer. The simulated and measured results are well in agreement. The analysis show that antenna with foam substrate offers the lowest return loss of - 41.28 dB. Larger bandwidth and gain of 4.38 dB is observed with PET substrate.

While the revolution in antenna engineering leads to the fast-growing communication systems, Microstrip Patch Antennas (MPA) have proven to be the most unconventional discovery in the epoch of miniaturization. This paper incorporates the designing, simulation, and analysis of rectangular & circular microstrip patch antennas. The resonating frequency of the proposed patch antennas is 9 GHz, lying in the X band region and are designed on Rogers RT/duroid 5880 material having dielectric constant 2.2, using Ansys HFSS software. The proposed MPAs were compared on the basis of five performance parameters (Return loss, Bandwidth, VSWR, Gain and HPBW). It was observed that rectangular MPA has a higher value of return loss, VSWR and HPBW than circular MPA. Whereas, circular MPA has greater bandwidth and gain than rectangular MPA. The proposed antennas can be used in radar, wireless and satellite applications.

In today’s world, the requirement for lower-weight, low-cost, low-profile, and effective-use transmitters is growing by the day. For addressing these parameters in a variety of applications, microstrip patch antennas are more popular than other antennas. The main issue with these types of microstrip patch antennas is that they have a high return loss, VSWR, and bandwidth, but these issues can be rectified utilizing a design technique. The method of design was to use mirror image layouts, which was a simple and easy way to improve performance. The efficiency of a simple patch cannot be influenced by any single structure that lacks a mirror reflection. In this study, the two +-shaped constructions are used, and the results are in good agreement. In today’s world, these antennas have a variety of uses, including WLAN and s band applications. In the future, various frameworks will be used to improve the results that have been produced thus far.


In wireless communication era, we need the antennas with low profile, light weight, planar but can meet the characteristics of non-planar structures, with ease of fabrication, flexibility in terms of electromagnetic parameters like radiation pattern, gain, impedance, polarization etc. Microstrip patch antennas, which come at low cost, size, good performance, ease of installation and easy integration to circuits, high efficiency, are suitable in that context. The Principle of slot is used on the patch which decreases the radius of the circular patch antenna, so as to reduce the size. In this work various Ircular microstrip patch antenna arrays are intended for the application of WLAN and Wi-Max at 2.4GHz for the improvement of gain. Single microstrip patch antenna and planar arrays of 1x2 and 2x2 ircular microstrip patch antennas are designed using strip line feeding technique and simulated on FR4 substrate. The planar antenna arrays are simulated using the High Frequency Structure Simulator (HFSS) software version v17.2 and the parameters like gain, return loss, Bandwidth and VSWR are evaluated at 2.4GHz frequency and the same are presented.

In this work, the technique of design array patch antennas was used in order to improve the physical antenna characteristics for Wi-Fi and WiMAX device. As a result, the proposed technique causes to increase the gain and directivity of the antenna. Using this method also leads to enhance measurement bandwidth of antenna and some other antenna parameters as mentioned in this research paper.

Microstrip patch antennas are attractive for communication applications due to their small size, low cost, and easy fabrication. Regardless of the diverse usage of these antennas, their bandwidth and efficiency are still limited and need to be improved. Therefore, this paper aims to enhance the bandwidth and efficiency of a microstrip antenna by inserting a slot into various patch designs. Flame Retardant (FR4) material is used in the dielectric substrate and the antenna is fed by a microstrip line. Virtually, the antenna performance is attempted to be optimized through empirical investigations of feedline lengths, slot sizes and positions, and ground plane dimensions and locations. To achieve the results, the High Frequency Structure Simulator (HFSS) is used, and the paper concludes by showing that the antenna performance is enhanced by the slot, and the return loss is significantly reduced when the ground plane is moved to the front surface of the antenna.
