Designing and performance metrics analysis of microstrip antenna and microstrip patch fractal antenna

The following paper presents a relative study of a microstrip patch antenna which is excited using the inset feed strip line and the other is the microstrip fractal antenna which is excited using the coaxial feed mechanism. The antenna prototypes were designed and simulated on HFSS. Several parameters such as gain, VSWR, return loss were obtained. The characteristics obtained for Antenna 1 that is the inset fed microstrip slot patch antenna are −12.37dB, −26.31 dB and − 11.20 dB and for Antenna 2 i.e microstrip fractal antenna are 18.50dB, −24.00 dB and −27.00 dB and the gain for the two antennas are 5.29dbi and 3.32dbi respectively. The applications include Mobile and satellite communication application, Global Positioning System applications, Radar Application, Rectenna Application etc.
