Designing of Microstrip Patch Antenna Array

The aim of this Book is to Design a Microstrip Patch Antenna Array for High Gain & Directivity at 3.4 GHz. This work covers study of basics and fundamentals of microstrip patch antenna. A Microstrip Patch Antenna consists of a dielectric substrate on one side of a patch, with a ground plane on the other side. Due to its advantages such as low weight and volume, low profile planar configuration, low fabrication costs and capability to integrate with microwave integrated circuits (MICs), the microstrip patch antenna is very well suited for applications such as cellular phones, pagers, missile systems, and satellite communications systems. A series of parametric study were done to find that how the characteristics of the antenna depends on its various geometrical and other parameters.
