Introduction:
Microstrip patch antennas (MPA) are a class of planar antennas. Due to their simplicity in
analysis and manufacturing, cheap cost, light weight, easy feeding, and appealing radiation
properties, they have grown to be favorites among antenna designers and have been employed in
several wireless communication applications. We are going to use two single-sided copper
FR4s and one SMA connector to implement a patch antenna.

Objectives:
The objective of this project is to improve the antenna parameters, such as gain, bandwidth,
return loss, and efficiency, by designing and simulating patch antennas using the High Frequency
Structural Simulator (HFSS). The patch antenna is built at a 2.4GHz operating frequency to meet
these specifications.
Goals:
The project findings will be compared to those of a key article [1], in which we will begin by
presenting the important findings from each model of this paper and then contrast and compare
them with the findings of our project. To summarize the comparison, we will also offer any
interpretations or suggestions for the future. There will also, if applicable, be an overall
comparison of the various publications [2], [3].
