Design and Analysis of Meander Microstrip Antenna at Wireless Band

Abstract

Meander line antenna (MLA) is an electrically small antenna which poses several performance related issues such as narrow bandwidth, high VSWR, low gain and high cross polarization levels. This paper describe the design ,simulation and development of meander line microstrip antenna at wireless band, the antenna was modeled using microstrip lines and S parameter for the antenna was obtained. The properties of the antenna such as bandwidth, beamwidth, gain, directivity, return loss and polarization were obtained.

Keywords: Meander line, wireless band and substrate.
