Bandwidth enhancement of microstrip patch antenna: article / Noor Adilah Ahmad

The design of microstrip rectangular patch antenna with resonant frequency at 5.8GHz for wireless application is presented. High bandwidth is one of the main requirements for wireless application. In this paper, two different possible techniques were used to enhance the bandwidth. The first technique is using different thickness of substrate. The second technique is addition of parasitic element into antenna structure. The simulation of the microstrip rectangular antenna done by using Computer Simulation Tool (CST) Microwave Environment software and fabricate on FR4 substrate. All the simulation and measurement results are presented in this paper to show its feasibility.
