Design a Novel Z-Shaped Antenna Using Rogers Substrate for Microwave Access Operations

The research article describes the design, simulation of novel Z-shaped antenna with rogers substrate and comparison with rectangular micro-strip patch to minimize the return loss. Group 1 is considered a novel Z-shaped antenna with 20 samples and Group 2 is considered a rectangular micro-strip patch antenna with 20 samples while both the antennas use rogers substrate material. The total sample size is 40. The operating frequency of this antenna design is 2.39 GHz. Each group is collected for both antennas with a G-Power of 80%. The return loss obtained for a novel Z-shaped antenna with rogers substrate was -17.3344 dB at 2.39 GHz whereas the obtained return loss for a rectangular micro-strip patch using rogers substrate was -19.2351 dB at the same frequency. The significance value obtained in SPSS is 0.01 (p<0.05). In this study, it is observed that a novel Z-shaped antenna has significantly better return loss when compared with a rectangular patch.
