Analysis of Microstrip Patch Antennas for Radio Frequency Applications
Abstract
In this paper a comprehensive parametric study has
been carried out to understand the effects of different microstrip patch
antennas and to optimize the performance of the final design. The
different patch antennas analyzed are rectangular patch antenna, U
shaped patch antenna, T shaped patch antenna and E shaped patch
antenna. The theoretical simulations are performed using SONNET
software for various substrates. The results are obtained for the
different patch antennas and compared with the simulation results. The
antenna with lowest voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) is chosen as
the antenna for Radio frequency applications such as RFID and GPS.
