Design and Parametric Analysis of Multiband Microstrip Patch Antenna

Ruchi Kadwane

Abstract


In this paper a rectangular shaped, low cost compact size microstrip patch antenna is designed which can be used at high frequencies. Parametric analysis of proposed antenna design is done for four different feeding methods. Different parameters like return loss, VSWR, radiation pattern, directivity, resonant frequency are simulated and analyzed using Ansoft HFSS 13. A prototype antenna is fabricated and tested in order to validate the suggested method.
