Abstract
This paper proposes a simple rectangular patch antenna for its operation in the S-band at 2.43GHz frequency. The length and width of the antenna are increased gradually, and the variations in different parameters are recorded thereof. This observation reveals that the antenna can be tuned for different frequencies by varying the dimensions. Here different antenna models are simulated by using High-Frequency Structured Simulator (HFSS version 13.0.0) and observed the prominent results of the antenna parameters tuned from the L band to the S-band. The results are then compared with the ideal solid rectangular patch antenna. It is observed that adding an extra portion to the patch increases the electrical length of the antenna. As a result, its antenna parameters are changed. Based on the simulation results, antenna prototypes with the best configuration are fabricated. Here antenna performances and antenna parameters are measured experimentally and compared with that of the simulated one.
