Analysis and designing of E-shape microstrip patch antenna for the wireless communication systems

Abstract

In this paper, the analysis and designing of E-shape microstrip patch antenna for the wireless communication system presented. The shape will provide the broad bandwidth which is required for the operation of fourth generation wireless communication systems. The operating frequency of antenna is 3GHz, the dielectric constant 4.2 and thickness of the antenna is 1.6mm. The comparison between E-shape and T-shape simulation results at operating frequency 3GHz of antenna are done by the help of IE3D Zeland Software (Version 12.0). For the analysis of antenna we used the popular Finite difference time domain method (FDTD). This antenna is fed by a co-axial probe feeding. In this paper, the effects of different types of antenna parameters like return loss, voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) are also studied.
