CIRCULAR MICROSTRIP PATCH ANTENNA: A COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW

Abstract

Over the past one decade, there is a rapid growth in development of various applications involving wireless communication. The performance of all such wireless systems depends on the design and proper functioning of the antenna. Microstrip antenna are preferred for majority of their applications This is because of the inherent advantages such as size miniaturization, power consumption, simplicity, compatibility with printed circuit technology, low profile, light weight, lower return loss, good radiation properties, small size, planar structure and ease of fabrication. C band are used in satellite communication, WiMAX, WLAN, Wi-Fi applications. This paper provides a comprehensive review of the research work done in the recent past by various authors on the design and optimization of the circular microstrip patch antenna with different slots operating in C band.
