Abstract
Modern communication systems, including computers, mobile phones, wireless devices and other gadgets, can be connected to the Internet via Wi-Fi, a
wireless networking technology. This paper describes a microstrip patch antenna for Wi-Fi applications. Among Wi-Fi technologies, microstrip antennas have received the most comprehensive attention. This research involves the design of a low-profile flexible microstrip antenna for 5.8GHz Wi-Fi networks. Microwave studio using computer simulation technology (CST). The performance of the antenna is evaluated by considering the antenna return loss, radiation pattern, bandwidth and Smith diagram. The return loss must be less than -10dB, and the bandwidth must be greater than or equal to 0.1GHz. In this experiment, the S-parameter of the simulated antenna at 5.8GHz is -25.297797dB, and the lowest value of the test antenna is -34.0859dB at a frequency of 5.876GHz. An antenna resonates at the desired frequency using a rectangular patch on a dielectric substrate, and sputtering machine is used to make the antenna. This report details the design, simulation and testing of a microstrip patch antenna in the 5.8GHz band for Wi-Fi applications. This paper discusses the theoretical background of microstrip patch antenna, design considerations for achieving 5.8GHz resonance and the design method chosen. The selection of materials is introduced. Finally, the testing process of the antenna is given, and the test results are analysed according to the simulation data.
