Abstract

In recent years, wireless communications have evolved significantly, and many mobile devices have reduced in size. The antennas used in mobile terminals must be lowered in size to fulfil the downsizing standards. Planar antennas, like microstrip and printed antennas, have a low profile, compact size, and conformability to mounting hosts, making them particularly desirable candidates for achieving these needs. Additionally, planar antennas are also being used in communication devices for 2.4 GHz (2400 – 2484 MHz) and 5.2 GHz wireless local area network (WLAN) systems (5150). In wireless applications, an antenna is a crucial component. At the transmitter, it transforms electrical signals into RF signals, and at the receiver, it converts RF signals to electrical signals. The patch inside the antenna is made of a conducting material such as Cu (Copper) or Au (Gold), and it can be rectangular, round, triangular, or elliptical. Two unique designs of microstrip planar antennas with an operating frequency of 5.2 GHz having S11 parameters as -16.0 dB and -15.7 dB have been offered and their performance has been studied in this research article.
