1 DESIGN OF CORPORATE FEED RECTANGULAR MICROSTRIP PATCH ANTENNA AUTHORS P.SUBBULAKSHMI R.RAJKUMAR OBJECTIVES To design microstrip patch antenna array configuration with high gain, large bandwidth and smaller size for Wi-MAX applications INTRODUCTION Antenna is a electrical device which converts electrical power into radio waves This paper proposes the design of 4-element microstrip patch antenna It uses corporate feed technique for excitation Taconic is the dielectric substrate (εr=2.2) The design is simulated using FEKO software Frequency range – to GHz Attractive for airborne and spacecraft applications Size reduction using high dielectric materials Narrow bandwidth should be enhanced Different feeding techniques MICROSTRIP PATCH ANTENNA Consists of thin metallic strip called patch Thickness of patch ( t
