A COMPACT MICROSTRIP BASED PATCH ANTENNA FOR MULTIBAND APPLICATIONS**

Abstract

Microsctrip based microwave antenna designs are becoming an integral part for a vast range of wireless devices such as cell phones, wireless routers and satellite communication devices. Our proposed microstrip structure is based on a di-electric substrate commonly known as FR4 substrate which is sandwiched between two metallic layers. These structures are highly effective for implimentaion due to their miniature size, simplicity and low-cost. Our proposed design can find applications in telecommunication, satellite communication and defense applications
