DESIGN, SIMULATION AND PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS OF A LINE FEED RECTANGULAR MICRO-STRIP PATCH ANTENNA

Microstrip patch antenna becomes very popular day by day because of its ease of analysis and fabrication, low cost, light weight, easy to feed and their attractive radiation characteristics. Although patch antenna has numerous advantages, it has also some drawbacks such as restricted bandwidth, low gain and a potential decrease in radiation pattern. The aim of the thesis is to design and fabricate a line feed rectangular Microstrip Patch Antenna and study the effect of antenna dimensions Length (L) , Width (W) and substrate parameters relative Dielectric constant, substrate thickness (t) on the Radiation parameters of Bandwidth and Beam-width.
