Abstract: In the past few decades, microstrip patch antenna has been studied in various forms all over the world, still there is possibility of further developments in it. Number of single elements arranged in the form of array is needed to attain high directivity as high directivity is needed by satellites for communication. This paper presents four different shaped singular microstrip patch antennas. All the four antennas are simulated at a frequency of 2.45 GHz in HFSS 15.0 software, and a comparison is made on the basis of their return loss, VSWR, gain and directivity.
Keywords: microstrip patch antenna, return loss, gain, directivity, VSWR
