ABSTRACT
Microstrip antennas
are the most common antennas widely implemented in different communication
systems due their small size, low profile and conformity to planar, and
non-planar surfaces. In this research work, the design and simulation of an
innovative single element inset-fed Rectangular Microstrip Patch Antenna (RMPA)
for X-band application is presented. The proposed design used an operating
frequency of 10 GHz, a Rogers RO4350 substrate with dielectric constant of
3.66, and a substrate height of 31 ml. The antenna performance characteristics
such as return loss, bandwidth, VSWR, gain, directivity, beamwidth, and
radiation efficiency were obtained in the simulation. The simulation results
showed that the designed antenna resonated at 10 GHz, with a return loss of
-19.61 dB, bandwidth of 226.2MHz, VSWR of 1.82, gain of 6.58 dBi, directivity
of 6.83 dBi, a wider beamwidth of 115.2o, and an antenna efficiency
of 94.2%. The novel antenna can be embedded in wireless devices for commercial
WLAN and WiMAX applications and onboarding on radar and satellite wireless
communication systems for various surveillance and communication purposes.
