A Review on Microstrip Patch Antenna Performance Improvement Techniques on Various Applications

Abstract

Antennas are metallic structure elements developed for transmitting signals through radio waves. Nowadays, antennas are available in different shape depending upon their application and signal strength. The antennas which are employed for space and large signal communication utilizes a bowl shape structure for focusing the signals on a single point. Certain antennas are designed to move on both horizontal and vertical directions for their signal transmission. The microstrip patch antennas are very small in size and it comes under the type of printed antennas. The microstrip patch antennas are widely employed on mobile phone communications and medical applications. The performances of the microstrip patch antennas are increased in recent years and the motive of the review work is to analyse the methodology followed behind it. In the same way, the work analyses the merits and limitations of the recent techniques developed for the performance improvement of the microstrip patch antennas.
