In this paper, a microstrip patch antenna is designed to be used for X-band VSAT application at 7.5 GHz. The antenna is proposed to replace the massive and commonly used parabolic reflector antennas (46.0 inch × 29.3 inch × 13.5 inch (116.84 cm × 74.42 cm × 34.29 cm) with weight of 66.2 kg) in terms of portability due to its compact and lightweight features, with overall dimensions of 19.00 mm × 30.55 mm. The 7.5 GHz frequency is chosen based on the X-band frequency used in Malaysia, as reported by STRIDE. The microstrip patch antenna is first designed and simulated using CST Microwave Studio (CST MWS) and exhibits a good return loss (S11) of -42.09 dB, a bandwidth of 399 MHz, directivity of 7.63 dB and gain of 7.18 dB. The antenna is then fabricated using RT/duroid ® High Frequency 5880 substrate with a dielectric constant of ?r = 2.2, loss tangent of ? = 0.0009 and thickness of t = 1.574 mm. Next, the return loss and radiation pattern measurements are carried out to confirm the simulated results. The measurement of the antenna prototype provides a return loss S11 of -30.53 dB, bandwidth of 455 MHz, directivity of 5.51 dB and gain of 3.88 dB. ABSTRAK: Di dalam kajian ini, antena jalurmikro dicadangkan untuk tujuan aplikasi jalur-X VSAT pada 7.5 GHz. Antena jalurmikro ini dicadangkan untuk menggantikan antena reflektor parabola yang besar dan biasa digunakan (46.0 inci × 29.3 inci × 13.5 inci (116.84cm × 74.42cm × 34.29cm) dengan berat 66.2kg), kerana cirinya yang mudah alih dengan fizikalnya yang kecil dan ringan, dan dimensi keseluruhan 19.00 mm × 30.55 mm. Frekuensi 7.5 GHz dipilih berdasarkan frekuensi jalur-X yang digunakan di Malaysia, seperti yang dilaporkan oleh STRIDE. Antena jalurmikro ini direka dan disimulasi menggunakan perisian CST Studio Gelombang Mikro (CST MWS) dan menghasilkan kehilangan pulangan yang baik S11 -42.09 dB, lebar jalur 399 MHz, keterarahan 7.63 dB dan gandaan 7.18 dB. Antena jalurmikro ini kemudiannya direalisasikan dengan menggunakan substrat RT / duroid ® Frekuensi Tinggi 5880 dengan pemalar dielektrik ?r = 2.2, tangen kehilangan ? = 0.0009 dan ketebalan t = 1.574 mm. Seterusnya, pengukuran kehilangan pulangan dan corak radiasi dilakukan untuk mengesahkan keputusan simulasi. Pengukuran prototaip antena jalurmikro menunjukkan kehilangan pulangan S11 -30.53 dB, lebar jalur 455 MHz, keterarahan 5.51 dB dan gandaan 3.88 dB.

Dual U Slot Loaded Truncated Microstrip Patch Antenna is designed for wireless applications. The proposed geometry comprised of two inverted U slots in truncated circular patch antenna operation covering 2.24 to 2.72 GHZ frequency bands are obtained. It is found that the slot and truncated is used to improve the bandwidth and return loss respectively. The resonant frequency is found to be 2.5GHZ. The bandwidth of the proposed antenna for lower and upper resonant frequency is found to be 19.2%. The proposed antenna is fed by 50Ω co-axial probe feed and simulated on Rogers RT/duroid5880 substrate.  Rogers RT/duroid 5880 substrate has dielectric constant and loss tangent of 2.2 and 0.0009 respectively. An air gap is used in this proposed design for tuning the desired frequencies and increasing the bandwidth. The antenna shows an acceptable gain of 2.1dB to 5.7dB with unidirectional pattern over the obtained frequency band.

In this paper, we study behavior of Ultra wideband antenna which is Rectangular Slotted Microstrip Patch Antenna. Then, the antenna operated in proximity of human arm model. Furthermore, the antenna is designed on a FR-4 substrate with dielectric constant of 4.3 and thickness 1.6 mm. This antenna simulated in CST Microwave Studio software. In order to test the antenna, an arm model was numerically modelled. The study shows properties and performances of antenna when it is placed in three situations which in free space, outside and inside of human arm model. The properties of UWB antenna in term of return loss, gain, directivity and radiation pattern in the three situations is simulated and discussed.


Easy fabrications and low cost makes microstrip patch radiators more necessary for many applications. In this paper, some observations are made on microstrip patch mounted on a cylindrical curved surface with variation in radius. Considered patch antenna placed on a planar surface operating at a frequency of 5GHz. The same patch was placed on a cylindrical surface with radius of 15mm and 20mm and different properties of the antenna are measured. Here the cylinder will act as substrate and the material used for Substrate is FR4_epoxy with relative permittivity 4.4 and Dielectric loss tangent of 0.02. The antenna design and simulations are carried by High Frequency Structural Simulation (HFSS) tool


Microstrip antennas find wide applications in high-speed vehicles, and missiles, tanks, satellite communications, mobile communications and wireless communications etc. The main advantage of these antennas over conventional microwave antenna is light weight, low volume, low cost, planar structure and compatibility with integrated circuits. The present paper deals with the design and simulation of an inset feed rectangular microstrip patch antenna using different dielectric substrate materials such as Arlon AD320, FR4 (Epoxy glass) and Vaccum (Air) and having dielectric constant ( )= 3.2, 4.4 and 1.0 respectively and also comparing their performance characteristics. The resonant frequency of the proposed antenna is designed at frequency of 1.9 GHz, which is lying in the L-band region. The antenna software such as High Frequency Structure Simulator is used for designing of proposed antenna. The simulation results shows the maximum bandwidth is 40MHz and minimum gain is 2dB is obtained using FR4 (Epoxy-glass) substrate whose dielectric constant ( ) = 4.4, at which return loss is -35.67dB. Maximum gain is 9.72dB and bandwidth is 39MHz obtained using Vaccum (Air), whose dielectric constant ( ) = 1.0. However, 6 dB gain and 25MHz bandwidth is obtained using Arlon AD 320A substrate, whose dielectric constant ( ) = 2.2 at which return loss is obtained -24.57dB. The proposed antenna can be used for military telemetry, GPS, mobile phone (GSM) and amateur radio applications.

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.

The objective of the paper is to design and investigate a rectangular microstrip antenna that covers the band from 2.4 to 3.6 GHz. The proposition consolidates investigation of fundamentals of microstrip patch antenna. A progression of simulation in Ansoft HFSS (High Frequency System Simulation) has been carried out to discover the dual operating frequency. The qualities of the patch antenna rely on its different geometrical parameters. The investigation is carried in terms of two prime factors: Return loss and radiation pattern.
