A 2.4GHz Rectangular Shaped Patch Antenna for ZigBee Application

ZigBee is a low-rate task group 4, Personal Area Network task group. It’s a type of technology for home networking. For controlling and detecting the network, a technological standard called ZigBee was established. For short-range wireless communication, a protocol termed ZigBee resolves the demand for comparatively affordable deployment of low-power devices, with lower bit rates. Under IEEE 802.15.4 ZigBee technology, ZigBee antenna is a radio frequency antenna, with ability to transmit and, receive radio waves. These serve a crucial part in the operation of ZigBee’s low-power, wireless personal area networks. Thus a patch antenna of 2. 4GHz is made with dimensions of 39x47.8mm

with FR-4(Lossy) as substrate, with thickness of 1. 6mm and copper as a patch. VSWR of 1.06, a bandwidth of 110. 25MHz, and a gain of 2. 76dB, return loss of -29.77dB is achieved. The radiation pattern is omnidirectional. The simulated findings and the values obtained agree rather well.
