Design of slotted array microstrip patch antenna for 2.4GHz WLAN applications / Mazniza Norshafinaz Mansur

Wireless is becoming popular means of data communication for many applications. In this project, slotted array microstrip patch antenna is proposed for wireless. The proposed antenna is capable of receiving and transmitting signals at its operating range. A single antenna element and an array of 1 X 2 of square slotted antenna were designed. In this project, an antenna by use 1 x 2 patch array with slotted is developed for wireless local area network (WLAN) applications. Many applications typically used WLAN in data communication and most favorable used in short range network communication. The array of microstrip patch antenna with slotted give better response as compared to an array of micro strip patch antenna without slotted. Slotting the antenna offer the better performance. The proposed microstrip patch antenna design to be operate at 2.4GHz. The antenna was printed on FR-4 substrate which has dimensions of 90mm x 50mm x l .6mm3 with a ground plane and coaxial feed. CST software is used for design and analysis of the antenna. The return loss denotes as S11, 3D radiation pattern and VSWR have been analyzed.
