2.4 GHz Microstrip Patch Antenna for S-Band Wireless Communications

Abstract

For any wireless communication, the antenna plays a very important role. The request for this technology is reduced antenna size, weight, and cost with a low profile, high performance, and low return loss (RL). To meet these requirements, the microstrip patch antenna (MPA) can be used. This research represents the design and manufacture of the MPA for the 2.4 GHz applications with very low RL and perfect voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR). Computer simulation technology (CST) studio is used to design and simulation. The proposed MPA is fabricated on flame retardant (FR-4) material as a substrate. The results show that the MPA is capable to deal with RL of -38.86 dB at the frequency of 2.393 GHz with a bandwidth (BW) of 58 MHz and VSWR of 1.02. The volume of the antenna is 75.85 × 57.23 × 1.6 .
