ABSTRACT
In this paper, the design of a co-axial fed single layer microstrip patch antenna (MSA) for 5.2 GHz WLAN application is presented. The impedance matching and the radiation characteristics of this proposed structure are studied and analyzed using Computer Simulation Technology (CST) Microwave Studio, which is a commercially available electromagnetic simulator based on the method of finite difference time domain technique to achieve the desired specification. The proposed antenna based on co-axial feed configuration has the maximum achievable bandwidth obtained about 219.2 MHz (5.14-5.36 GHz) at -10 dB reflection coefficient which corresponds to WLAN 5.2 GHz frequency band and the maximum achievable gain is 5.208 dB. Stable radiation characteristics are obtained across the frequency band.
