Design of Rectangular Patch Antenna with X-slots for Wireless Communications

A compact patch antenna has been designed to work at wireless applications is presented in this article. A simple rectangular microstrip antenna with small and narrow X-shaped slots on radiating patch has proposed. The proposed antenna model is operated below −10dB return loss with single resonating frequency at 9.9GHz. The return loss is observed wide bandwidth of −35.48dB with 2.80GHz (8.49−11.30GHz) impedance bandwidth of 28.25% is obtained. The current distribution and radiation patterns of proposed model has presented in the results.
