Design of Microstrip Patch Antenna for Industrial Routers Applications

Abstract

The proposed antenna has a simple structure comprising of two radiating strips and a
coupling strip which serves to enhance the bandwidth at high frequency. The antenna has
been designed to cover X bands (8-12GHz). The designed antenna only occupies a small area
of 9×8.7 mm
2
on the system circuit board. Byadjusting the shape, location and size of the
antenna, the return loss is effectively reduced, while the efficiency of the antenna is
preserved. This antenna is helpful to incorporate into industrial routers for next generation
wireless systems.
