Performance analysis and comparative study of microstrip patch antenna using aperture coupled and proximity coupled feeding methodology

Abstract

Fabrication of user-friendly, small in size and lightweight Micro strip patch antenna has now become an indispensable part in different wireless applications. In this paper, Transmission line model is used to simulate a rectangular micro strip patch antenna using both aperture coupled feed as well as proximity coupled feed and a comparison in performance of different antenna parameters are observed. The novel antenna resonates at 5.853 GHz for WLAN applications and is designed in CST MICROWAVE STUDIO 9.
