Methodology for Design and Development of Microstrip Patch Antenna

Abstract

A microstrip patch antenna is a type of radio antenna that can be mounted on a lower surface. The microstrip patch antennas are widely used in low cost wireless communication applications because they have distinct several benefits as compared to the traditional antennas. In this paper, the design and development methodology of microstrip patch antenna having Hshaped and using the FR4 substrate with 1 mm thickness has been discussed. The antenna parameters such as gain, bandwidth, return loss, and radiation pattern has been analysed on LED3 software. Other types of microstrip patch antennas can be designed using this methodology and the performance can be evaluated as required for a specific application.
