Abstract :
Low profile antennas support the operation of many modern communication systems. Microstrip patch antennas represent one family of compact antennas that offer a conformal nature and the capability of ready integration with a communication system´s printed circuitry. In this research a rectangular microstrip patch antenna has been designed at 1 GHz. By using a transmission line model we demonstrated how one can accurately model and analyze the microstrip line inset fed rectangular patch antenna by using microwave office software. Our results showed very low return loss and VSWR which are typical parameters used to study the behaviour of antennas.
