A Novel Design of Multi-Band Microstrip Patch Antenna for Wireless Communications

Simulated and measured design with analysis of rectangular patch antenna is presented in this paper. An introduced design covers the requisite bandwidth for UMTS cellular phone system and IEEE Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) standards: 802.lln, 802.llac (Wi-Fi). Light weight, low-cost, plain configuration and multi-band functionality are the advantages. All results of the resonant frequency, return loss, radiation patterns and fields distributions are presented. The simulation analysis and measured results were performed using the HFSS and CST software and vector network analyzer.
