In the last few decades, the development of wireless and mobile communication has influenced social and economic development. Billions of devices demand wireless connection which runs on data, voice and other applications. The antenna is an integral part of any wireless communication system. From the design perspective, the antenna must be compact, easy to manufacture, and cost-effective. This paper presents a design of a rectangular patch antenna, operating at 2.4GHz. The antenna is initially simulated on CST, required parametric sweep is carried out in terms of length and width of the patch, to resonate at 2.4GHz. The simulated antenna is then printed using a PCB printing machine, PCB Prototyping System, Eleven Lab. The printed antenna was tested using Keysight’s PNA-LN-5232A (Vector Network Analyzer). The measurements/ variation in the reflection coefficient were observed /noted within the vicinity of the human body and gold metal plus the human body, at different positions. Near the ear. The simulation results and measured results are in a good match. The designed antenna is suitable for the Wi-fi, WLAN, communication application.
Slots are generally introduced in the antenna or antenna to improve the impedance matching, improve the bandwidth, and gain. Sometimes slots are introduced in the ground planes, or between antenna elements to reduce the mutual coupling between elements. The antenna being an important element in wireless communication technology, the design of the same with different requirements is important. This paper gives the survey of the slot antenna and antenna array constructed through waveguide and microstrip lines, to meet different antenna parameters as required in various wireless communication technology.
