Microstrip Patch Antennas for Microwave S band, C band and X band Applications

Abstract

``` Advantages of Microstrip patch antennas make them solid candidate for the field of communication in Microwave application. This paper consists of Microstrip patch antennas with complete mathematical calculations, Simulation results and the relevant antenna applications on the operating frequencies. These designed antennas have frequency ranges in Microwave S band, C band and X band. S band cover the frequencies of 2 GHz, 3 GHz and 3.5 GHz. C band cover the cies of 8GHz and 9 GHz. These antenna simulations performed by using Ansoft HFSS TM V10.0. Simulation results are presented in terms of Resonant Frequency Return Loss, VSWR, Radiation Pattern and the antenna Gain. Microstrip patch antennas have wide range of applications, however here in this paper following applications are presented. WLL, WiMAX, Satellite Communication and Marine Radar Communication (SART).
