Abstract In this paper an inset fed rectangular shaped microstrip patch antenna is designed. The designed antenna structure is further simulated using Agilent ADS(Advance Design System) simulation software. The patch is designed with RT Duroid 5880 substrate of having dielectric constant of 2.2 and thickness of 1.6 mm. The simulation result proves the theoretical aspects for ISM Band.

permittivity. The impedance of the antenna increases with higher permittivities. Higher values of permittivity allow a "shrinking" of the patch antenna. Particularly in cell phones, the designers are given very little space and want the antenna to be a half-wavelength long. One technique is to use a substrate with a very high permittivity. Equation (1) above can be solved for L to illustrate this:

  1. INTRODUCTION

    Antenna is a device designed for radiating or receiving radio waves. The microstrip antennas also referred to as microstrip patch antennas (MSA) have several advantages like small size, light weight, low cost, low volume and easy to fabricate using printed circuit technology over conventional microwave antennas and therefore are widely used in many practical applications like aircraft, spacecraft, satellite, missile, mobile, GPS, RFID, Wi-Max and Radar etc. The radiating elements and the feed lines are usually photo etched on the dielectric substrate. MSAs suffer from disadvantages like low radiation efficiency, low gain, high Q, narrow impedance bandwidth etc.

    All of the parameters in a rectangular patch antenna design (L, W, h, permittivity) control the properties of the antenna. As such, this page gives a general idea of how the parameters affect performance, in order to understand the design process. First, the length of the patch L controls the resonant frequency as seen here. This is true in general, even for more complicated microstrip antennas that weave around

    – the length of the longest path on the microstrip controls the lowest frequency of operation. Equation (1) below gives the relationship between the resonant frequency and the patch length:

    Hence, if the permittivity is increased by a factor of 4, the length required decreases by a factor of 2. Using higher values for permittivity is frequently exploited in antenna miniaturization. The height of the substrate h also controls the bandwidth – increasing the height increases the bandwidth.

    Second, the width W controls the input impedance and the radiation pattern. The wider the patch becomes the lower the input impedance is. The permittivity of the substrate controls the fringing fields – lower permittivities have wider fringes and therefore better radiation. Decreasing the permittivity also increases the antenna's bandwidth. The efficiency is also increased with a lower value for the

    The return loss of inset fed rectangular patch antenna according to the base paper consulted is -38dB.

    The return loss of inset fed rectangular patch antenna has been obtained -21.966 dB.

  4. CONCLUSION

    An inset fed rectangular patch antenna is designed and simulated over Agilent ADS simulation software. The simulated result shows that the designed antenna structure is suitable to operate in ISM frequency band. The return loss of designed antenna compared to the return loss of antenna designed in base paper, is slightly low. To improve the results further optimization has to be done.
