Abstract

In the rapid progress of commercial communication applications, the development of compact antenna has an important role. This paper presents the analysis on the performance of single band compact triple C shaped microstrip patch antenna for WLAN, WiMAX and Wi-Fi applications with center frequency at 2.5GHz. The microstrip antenna has a planar geometry and consists of a ground plane, a substrate, a compact patch as radiator. Different specifications of the proposed antenna are measured through computer simulation in free space. The antenna has an impedance bandwidth of 2500 MHz (2487MHz to 2512 MHz). The proposed antenna provides excellent SWR of 1.04 and return loss -32.80 dB while excited by a 50 O microstrip feed line. All simulation results are performed using the CST Microwave Studio.
