Investigation and performance analysis of Z shaped migrostrip patch antenna for wideband application

This work gives the information of performance analysis of Z shape Microstrip Patch antenna design by using different dielectric substrate materials, substrate thickness and arm gap of patch, to operate in the frequency range of 0.6 GHz to 2 GHz. By comparing different substrates material and thickness, a suitable substrate has been selected to design Microstrip patch antenna. This proposed design might be compatible with various communication applications such as wireless and antenna application. This antenna can be used for Mobile Broadband Wireless protocols based on accepted specific use such as IEEE 802.20 or ATIS/ANSI HC-SDMA which can be operated at around 1.6 GHz. In some special case mobile phone networks, like GSM, use the low microwave frequencies around 1.78 GHz. DVB-SH and S-DMB use 1.452 to 1.492 GHz frequency. Global positioning satellite use 1.575 GHz and 1.227 GHz.
