Microstrip Antennas have many applications in various communication systems. A new configuration of microstrip antenna is proposed in this paper. The microstrip antenna has two radiation ports. Through changing the radiation intensity of the two ports, the proposed structure breaks the balance of the radiation of the microstrip antenna therefore the radiation pattern would be changed corresponsively. Theory analysis is carried out based on microstrip antenna theory. Both analysis and simulation show that the new configuration can realize the radiation pattern controlled and the theory analysis agreed very well with simulation.

Organic coverlays are required to protect microstrip circuits in most applications. The presence of coverlay can potentially influence the performance of microstrip antennas. This paper describes the qualification of polyimide based coverlays for microstrip antennas both in 900 MHz and 2.50 GHz frequency bands. An Inverted F-shaped antenna fabricated on FR-4 dielectric is used as the test vehicle and two different coverlay materials are tested with respect to key parameters like resonant frequency, S11 bandwidth, antenna gain, frequency detuning, and radiation pattern. The data presented in this paper clearly indicates polyimide materials are well suited to cover microstrip antenna circuits with minimal impact on performance.

<p><span lang="EN">The use of technology using cable has now been replaced by wireless communication technology, where most users use access point devices that have a limited emission range because on omnidirectional radiation, so we need an antenna that has a directional radiation pattern for a more directed emission range. Semi circular single patch microstrip antenna with inset feed method is one that can be used for this problem. In this final project, microstrip antennas can be applied to WLAN systems. The results of the test found that the antenna can work at a frequency of 2.4570000 GHz. </span><span>And besides that, also obtained a return loss of -25.68 dB, VSWR of 1.122 dB, bandwidth of 84.250000 MHz, Gain of 13.96 dBi, Average LOS (Line Of Sight) of 24.73 Mbps for uploads and 10.37 Mbps for downloads, Average NLOS (Not Light of Sight) of 14.34 Mbps for uploads and 7.78 Mbps for downloads, Distance testing along 130 meters of LOS conditions and 140 meters of Lossess conditions, the results obtained are feasible to be implemented on wifi systems and other communication systems with a 2.4 GHz frequency.</span></p>


We are living in the era of wireless communication. From accessing Internet through smartphones and Wi-Fi, changing TV channels with remote controls, using wireless computer peripherals like mouse, keyboards and headphones to mobile body area networks for keeping track of heart rate, blood pressure and body temperature, applications of wireless communication is everywhere. The most frequent and common use of wireless communication is mobile phones or cellular phones which uses the radio waves to carry data from one place to another. Though there are many advantages of wireless communication which makes it so popular, there are two most significant challenges in implementing a wireless communication system: multipath propagation and limited information rate. The concept of multipath propagation refers to travelling of wireless signal to the receiving antenna via different paths in space resulting in inter-symbol interference and fading. This phenomenon leads to failure of maximum use of the bandwidth resulting in low information rate. The problematic event of multipath propagation can be exploited by using more than one antenna (MIMO) in the sending and the receiving side. Multiple sending antennas use the concept of space diversity by sending same data signal through different path based on the fact that different version of the same signal will be received by the receiver increasing quality and reliability of the received data signal.Though in the current usage scenario, MIMO actually exploits multipath propagation concept for carrying more than one data stream over the same radio signal. One of the most important factors that influence the efficiency of MIMO antenna systems is the design layout of multiple antennas. Microstrip antennas, having small height and width, low cost, low weight and small volume can be a suitable candidate for being used as MIMO. The wireless performance of locally limited wireless communication systems such as Bluetooth and Wi-Fi using 2.4 GHz unlicensed band can be increased significantly by incorporating the advantages of MIMO and microstrip antenna technology. In this paper, the performance of MIMO Microstrip antenna using OFDM technique for 2.4 GHz communication has been evaluated.

Recently, microstrip antennas are preferred in all areas of wireless communication, due to their advantages such as low volume coverage, light weight, surface compatibility, high cost requirements and easy production etc. The main disadvantage of these antennas is their narrow band performance (~11%). In the literature, there are some wideband microstrip antenna designs. These broadband characteristics are obtained by changing the antenna geometry or by adding new parasitic patches to the antenna elements. In this study, a classical wideband microstrip dipole antenna (MDA) design which can be used in WLAN/WiMAX applications (covering the bands 2.4–2.5 GHz and 2.5–3.5 GHz) is introduced. The proposed antenna has a pair of twisted strip which are placed asymmetrically near the feed of the dipole element with a length of 52 mm (~λ/2). Also a pair of square loop elements is placed on a sublayer. The proposed MDA has a resonance between 2.06-3.72 GHz with a bandwidth of 57%. The antenna has a directive radiation pattern with a gain of 6.49-3.98 dBi.

A microstrip antenna with a circular disc design and modified ground is proposed in this paper. Circular shapes of different size have been slotted out from the radiating patch for achieving extended ultra wideband (UWB) with GSM/Bluetooth bands with maximum bandwidth of 17.7 GHz (0.88-18.6 GHz). Further, characteristic of dual notch band is achieved, when a combination of T and L-shaped slots are etched into the circular disc and ground plane respectively. Change in length of slots is controlling the notch band characteristics. The proposed antenna has rejection bandwidth of 1.3-2.2 GHz (LTE band), 3.2-3.9 GHz (WiMAX band) and 5.2-6.1 GHz (WLAN band) respectively. It covers the frequency range of 0.88-18.5 GHz with the VSWR of less than 2. Also, an equivalent parallel resonant circuit has been demonstrated for band notched frequencies of the designed antenna. The gain achieved by the proposed antenna is 6.27 dBi. This antenna has been designed, investigated and fabricated for GSM, Bluetooth, UWB, X and Ku band applications. The stable gain including H & E-plane radiation pattern with good directivity and omnidirectional behavior is achieved by the proposed antenna. Measured bandwidths are 0.5 GHz, 0.8 GHz, 1.1 GHz and 11.7 GHz respectively.
