Design of Symmetric and Asymmetric Array Clover Patch Microstrip Antennas at 2.4 GHz Frequency

Efficient and easy-to-produce characteristics of microstrip antenna makes it very common of being applied on communication devices. This research used five clover-shaped patch array microstrip antenna with 1×1, 2×2, 3×3, 4×4, and 5×5 format to analyze the parameters on 2.4 GHz operation frequency. VSWR, return loss, bandwidth and gain of each antennas are analyzed on this research. In conclusion, the addition of radiating element (patch) of the antenna lower the antenna's performance in VSWR and return loss, but widen the bandwidth and increasing gain of the antenna.
