What is patch antenna?
• A patch antenna (also known as a rectangular microstrip antenna) is a
type of radio antenna with a low profile, which can be mounted on a
flat surface.
• consists of a flat rectangular sheet or "patch" of metal, mounted over
a larger sheet of metal called a ground plane.
• the original type of microstrip antenna described by Howell in 1972.
• the two metal sheets together form a resonant piece
of microstrip transmission line with a length of approximately one-
half wavelength of the radio waves.
Objective:
• To design and develop a bowtie microstrip patch antenna that
operates at 2.45GHz frequency.
• To use a specific software for simulation

not affect its return loss. Bow-tie antenna is desirable for the modern
wireless communication applications.
