The paper proposes a work of four element in a 2×2 grid fashioned with E-shaped microstrip patch antenna with corporate fed .The paper compares the proposed design with four elements with a single element and a 2 element array design.All the three antenna designs use E shaped microstrip patch as an element. The design of the grid is achieved through the design of a single element, the design of a 1×2 array and finally the design of the 2×2 grid on an FR4 epoxy substrate of thickness 1.5 mm. A corporate feed network of microstrip lines is used to excite the array. The performance of each stage is studied in terms of the return loss parameter, the far field gain, and the beam-widths are observed in each case from simulation results. The resonant frequency in each case is 3.8 GHz. Through comparision of simulation results the paper shows that as the number of elements is increased, the beam-width reduces. In other words, the directivity is increased. Further, it is also observed that the gain and bandwidth is the minimum for the single patch, followed by that of the 1×2 array and the maximum for the 2×2 grid. Thus,it is ssen that the proposed four element antenna with corporate feeding performs better as compared to antennas with either only single patch element or two element array. The construction of the grid leads to increase in gain, bandwidth and directivity of the antenna.

Present paper focuses on design and simulation of an inset fed rectangular microstrip patch antenna for GPS applications. The proposed antenna is designed at frequency 1.9 GHz which comes in L-Band region and simulated using Electromagnetic Simulator such as HFSS simulation software with three different dielectric substrates and comparing their performance characteristics such as gain, bandwidth, beam width, VSWR and return loss. The simulation results shows that the maximum bandwidth is obtained with FR4 substrate and the minimum bandwidth is found with Arlon AD320 substrate, where as the maximum gain obtained with air (vaccum) substrate. The proposed antenna has been designed for the range of 1.9 GHz and which is highly suitable for GPS applications.

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.

This paper researches how the various iterations affect the characteristics of Minkowski fractal microstrip patch antenna. A 2-itration Minkowski fractal reader antenna is designed. In order to increase antenna bandwidth, the structure of a novel modified antenna is presented to operate at 2.45GHz with the return loss of -35.15dB and bandwidth of 180MHz, the maximum gain of which is 7.83dB. Besides, with its size of 30mm ×30mm, this antenna area is decreased by 43.75% and the width is decreased by 25% compared to normal square patch antenna. The simulation results show that it has a good size-reduction feature that can well meet the requirement for handheld RFID reader under certain size and characteristics.

A microstrip patch antenna is designed for a wearable antenna. The performance of microstrip patch antenna loaded with reactive impedance surface (RIS) is described in terms of gain, bandwidth and return loss. The antenna is investigated in two conditions which are conventional microstrip antenna with RIS and without RIS. The designed antenna is also aimed at size reduction therefore it will be suitable for a wearable application. This antenna which is made fully using textile and it is designed for operation in the 2.45 GHz band. The performance of microstrip patch antenna loaded with RIS is described in terms of gain, bandwidth, return loss and radiation pattern. The antenna designed with RIS operates at 2.45 GHz. Bandwidth enhancement is achieved with RIS where the designed antenna can cater frequency from 2.4 GHz to 3 GHz. A gain enhancement is achieved of 20% is achieved compared with the conventional patch antenna. Although the size of the patch is reduced with the introduction of RIS, the overall size of the antenna with the substrate is almost similar to the conventional patch antenna. However, the performance of the antenna is greatly enhanced with the use of RIS.


Due to the current Covid-19 pandemic circumstance all classes in instructive foundations are going in online mode. Subsequently all understudies are utilizing Mobile phones for going to classes and educators are utilizing cell phones for taking on the web classes. For the above use we need a fast 5G organization with high Bandwidth. In this paper a reduced 5G Microstrip patch antenna with DGS structure has been proposed for the better insight of 5G Wireless applications. DGS idea is broadly used to improve the radiation attributes of the reception apparatus. In the proposed work a 5G Microstrip patch antenna has been planned with a FR4 substrate with a thickness of 0.4 millimeter and Dielectric constant (r) of 4.4. The simulation results accomplished in this proposed work have a decent return loss of - 31.5 dB and Bandwidth of 6 GHz and the VSWR esteem is under 1 at 28 GHz. The proposed work has a ton of advantages for online occasions and classes

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.
