Microstrip Patch Antenna: A Survey

Abstract

The sizes and weight of various wireless electronic system have rapidly reduced due to the development of modern integrated circuit technology. A Microstrip antenna (MSA) is well suited for wireless communication due to its low profile, conformal nature, light weight, low cost of production, robust nature and compatibility with microwave monolithic integrated circuits (MMICs) and optoelectronic integrated circuits (OEICs) technologies. In this paper the complete discussion is focused on the working principles, limitations and the applications of microstrip patch antenna.
