In this study an irregularly shaped microstrip patch antenna was designed, simulated, and optimized for air-to-ground communication (ATG) applications. The process started with the design of a rectangular patch antenna with the traditional transmission line and cavity methods, followed by a simulation with the finite-difference time-domain method (FDTD) in conjunction with a genetic algorithm (GA). The aim of the study was to design an efficient patch antenna. The designed antenna is resonating at 14.25 GHz with 35 dB return loss. The 10 dB bandwidth of the antenna is 3.7 GHz.

<p class="Abstract"><span style="font-weight: normal;">In this paper a new geometry of patch antenna is proposed with improved bandwidth and circular polarization. The radiation performance of circularly polarized rectangular patch antenna is investigated by applying IE3D simulation software and its performance is compared with that of conventional rectangular patch antenna.</span> <span style="font-weight: normal;">Finite Ground truncation technique is used to obtain the desired results. The simulated return loss, axial ratio and smith chart with frequency for the proposed antenna is reported in this paper. It is shown that by selecting suitable ground-plane dimensions, air gap and location of the slits, the impedance bandwidth can be enhanced upto 10.15 % as compared to conventional rectangular patch (4.24%) with an axial ratio bandwidth of 4.05%.</span></p><p> </p><p> </p>


In this paper, a metamaterial based compact multiband rectangular microstrip patch antenna is proposed. The return loss of metamaterial loaded microstrip patch antenna obtained at the resonant frequency 2.4GHz. The metamaterial structure printed on FR4 substrate at hight of 1.6mm from the ground plane. The FR4 substrate has 4.4 dielectric constant.These metamterial structures are periodic in nature and possesses negative permittivity and negative permeability. The greatest advantage of metamaterial loading will be miniaturization. This metamterial loaded rectangular patch antenna is simulated and tested using HFSS Simulator, where an electromagnetic analysis tool is used. The fabricated antennas results are measured using Vector Network Analyzer (VNA).

In this paper, a composite patch antenna based on lefthanded material (LHM) with near zero index (NZI) is presented.This composite patch antenna is designed by assembling splitresonant rings (SRRs) and metal strips on the substrates. Thismultilayer composite structure results in a metamaterial with NZInear 13.89 GHz. A method of finite difference time domain(FDTD) is used. The results show that the composite antenna’sgain improves 0.61 times, and its bandwidth adds 2.95 timescompared to the conventional antenna’s ones. The results indicatethat this composite patch antenna system can reduce return loss ofthe antenna and increase the gain obviously.

This paper presents the design of a dual-band microstrip patch antenna for Wi-Fi that operates at 2.5 GHz and 5.8 GHz. The antenna contains a rectangular patch with two rectangular slots. The first slot is incorporated in the patch while the second slot is incorporated in the ground plane. The antenna is based on a microstrip fed rectangular patch printed on the FR-4 epoxy substrate with a dielectric constant of 4.4 and a thickness of 1.6 mm with patch size 24 mm × 21 mm. The simulated result shows that the realized antenna successfully works on dual-band and subsequently achieves a bandwidth of 100 MHz and 200 MHz as well as the return loss about -29.9 dB and -15.16 dB for 2.5 GHz and 5.8 GHz respectively. A stable omnidirectional radiation pattern is observed in the operating frequency bands. The antenna meets the required specifications for 802.11 WLAN standards.

In this proposed design a Rectangular E shaped micro-strip patch antenna is present with rectangular and circular slot within the Rectangular patch which operate at frequency 2.4 GHz. By proposed antenna design and coaxial feeding at suitable place  the resultant return loss, VSWR and bandwidth will be find out. For the propose microstrip antenna we have use FR-4 substrate which contain permittivity of 4.4 and thickness 1.5, loss tangent is 0.02. HFSS simulation software is used for designing and analysis.
