Characteristics and Performance of Microstrip Patch antenna for C Band and X Band

Abstract

This article present a compact proposed patch antenna for impedance matched for simple two horizontal slot is placed in a active patch with a via hole in sandwiched between radiated patch and bottom plane of an microstrip patch antenna for a band of 4 to 12Ghz application. The planned antenna is synthesized by using glass reinforced epoxy laminated material (FR4) and electromagnetic 3D view (IE3D) software. The software based design is suitable for a band of 3.3//5.5 Wi-Max and 5.3/5.8 WLAN frequency band. It is also suitable for satellite application The ground and exciting patch is separated by 1.5mm thickness. The proposed antenna parameter is design for 10Ghz..For such design the achieved Bandwidth for an antenna is 53 % at a VSWR<2, acceptable return loss (S11) = - 22.5dB, and the directivity of an antenna is 6 dBi. The antenna is appropriate for an application of X band. The designs of an antenna and its result have been discussed in detail.
