Popis: This paper presents simulation and experimental verification of a quad microstrip patch antenna that operates at 5.8 GHz. Sonnet antenna design software was used to simulate the performance of the antenna. To reduce the design's complexity and the computational load, the antenna and the feeding lines were simulated separately. An optimization was done for each subpart to get the optimum desired results. Finally, all the subparts were merged and the final structure was simulated to check the performance. A prototype of the antenna was fabricated on a double sided PCB substrate (relative permittivity=10.2, thickness=1.28 mm) using a PCB milling machine. The s 11 of −14 dB and −18.8 dB and maximum gain of 6.2 dB and 4.2 dB were obtained, from the simulation and experimental measurements, respectively.
