Microstrip patch antennas are widely utilized in WLAN applications, and body-centric wireless communication relies on multiple network links to get messages through. But the existing antenna size is big with less bandwidth, which increases the cost. This paper has taken a rigorous approach to design an antenna that will provide a single resonant frequency at the targeted bandwidth (2.45GHz). The patch size in the proposed antenna is 28mm by 27mm and energized by a 50 ohm microstrip feed line with dimensions 3.137mm by 18.35mm. The dielectric substrate of permittivity Er = 4.3 is used in the fabrication process. The optimal size and other antenna characteristics are found by finite difference time domain method based CST Studio Suite. Other parameters like return loss, input impedance, and bandwidth of the microstrip patch antennas are calculated using VNA and WATS software to verify the proposed work. Finally, the proposed slot-loaded antenna attains an improved bandwidth and gain while providing a single resonant frequency.

Abstract
Microstrip patch antennas are widely utilized in WLAN applications, and body-centric wireless communication relies on multiple network links to get messages through. But the existing antenna size is big with less bandwidth, which increases the cost. This paper has taken a rigorous approach to design an antenna that will provide a single resonant frequency at the targeted bandwidth (2.45GHz). The patch size in the proposed antenna is 28mm by 27mm and energized by a 50 ohm microstrip feed line with dimensions 3.137mm by 18.35mm. The dielectric substrate of permittivity Er = 4.3 is used in the fabrication process. The optimal size and other antenna characteristics are found by finite difference time domain method based CST Studio Suite. Other parameters like return loss, input impedance, and bandwidth of the microstrip patch antennas are calculated using VNA and WATS software to verify the proposed work. Finally, the proposed slot-loaded antenna attains an improved bandwidth and gain while providing a single resonant frequency.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
