Microstrip Patch Antenna Review for WLAN and WiMAX Application

Abstract

In this fast growing world, dual and multiple band antennas have been playing a very vital role for the wireless service needs in the field of wireless communication. WLAN and WiMAX are the techniques that are broadly used in mobile networks such as handheld computers and smart phones. The above techniques are considered extensively world wide as a cost-effective, flexible, reliable and high speed data connection that enables user mobility. For the application of WLAN and WiMAX, a rectangular MPA of dual band consisting of wide variety of substrates, feeding techniques and slots is dealt in this paper. Here, we will also discuss about the basics of micro strip antenna with various feeding techniques, antenna parameters and design model along with advantages and disadvantages.
