ABSTRACT

In the modern era, where the communication devices are becoming compact has led towards an immediate requirement of prominent low profile, simple and yet more effective, high performance microstrip patch antenna over a frequency ranging for multiple applications. In this paper, I have proposed a microstrip patch antenna frequency ranging between 1GHz to 5GHz with a critical frequency of 2.5GHz. The antenna patch is designed using rectangular, circular, triangular and square patterns which are calibrated using MATLAB v R2021a. The dimensions are also compared with the traditional equations and tested using the antenna toolbox of MATLAB against Ansoft High Frequency Structured Simulations (HFSS). The performance of the antenna is analysed with the parameters such as impedance, return loss, VSWR and gain of the antenna.
