Microstrip Patch Antenna (MPA). The subject primary concern
is to draw attention to the PCB MPA opportunities and their
fabrication challenges. To do these three different types of PCB
antenna design characteristics are investigated.
MPA is made consisting of a conducting patch with any Where W is the microstrip patch width, h is the dielectric
