A review on significance of design parameters of microstrip patch antennas

An enormous development in the study of micro-strip patch antennas has been observed in the recent years. This review paper presents the work done on micro-strip patch antennas in the last decade. Different antenna structures have been proposed with the focus of improving antenna parameters like gain, directivity, and bandwidth and return loss. Work has been done to make the antennas more compact and low profile. Use of ferrites in designing a patch antenna and its impact on antenna parameters is also discussed.
