Abstract
A microstrip patch antenna consists of a radiating metal patch positioned above a ground plane, with a dielectric substrate acting as the separating layer. These antennas are extensively utilized in both civilian and defense-related communication applications. This research focuses on the development of a 2.4?GHz antenna using MATLAB as the simulation platform. The design methodology involves selecting appropriate substrate materials and thickness, determining the physical dimensions of both the patch and ground plane, constructing the simulation model, and analyzing key performance indicators such as return loss, bandwidth, gain, and radiation characteristics. Design challenges—such as accurate material specification, precise dimensional configuration, and simulation fine-tuning—are effectively managed through detailed parameter analysis within MATLAB. The simulation outcomes demonstrate the antenna’s effectiveness for stable Wi-Fi communication, achieving a peak gain of 8?dBi, a bandwidth of 150?MHz, and a return loss of ?25?dB. With its directional radiation profile and near-omnidirectional azimuthal coverage, the antenna proves well-suited for modern wireless communication needs. Furthermore, this work highlights MATLAB’s effectiveness as a robust platform for the modeling and optimization of microstrip antennas, enabling the creation of efficient and high-performance wireless systems.
