Abstract:

An antenna plays a pivotal role in a wireless application system. A Microstrip Patch Antenna is widely used in advanced wireless communication and is characterized by high gain and narrow bandwidth. As a result of the developments in wireless networks and integrated circuit technology, patch antennas are being widely implemented as printed antenna for wireless communication, satellite communication, microwave communication and cell phones. It has gained much attention over the past years due to its compact structure, low weight, low profile, low cost and capability to reconfigure on different frequency bands. Furthermore, a hybrid combination of a slot and patch antenna can enhance the overall performance parameters. This paper examines the evolution of various designing, simulation and fabrication techniques adopted for designing microstrip patch antenna. This research delves into various microstrip patch antenna design aspects, including substrate material selection, geometrical configuration, feed techniques, and bandwidth enhancement methods. A currently designed antenna has been investigated, rendering a comparative analysis of enhanced performance parameters such as bandwidth dimensions of the patch, return loss, directivity and efficiency for various patch antenna designs.
