ABSTRACT
This manuscript presents the design and simulation of microstrip patch antennas tailored for mobile communication applications, focusing exclusively on technologies and materials available up to 2015. The study investigates key performance metrics—resonant frequency, impedance bandwidth, gain, and radiation pattern—through parametric simulation using Ansys HFSS v15. A statistical analysis compares conventional rectangular, circular, and slotted patch geometries, highlighting their relative merits in a tabular format. Five research questions guide the inquiry, and identified research gaps underscore areas requiring further exploration. Methodology details the substrate selection, antenna geometry optimization, and simulation setup. Results demonstrate that slotted patches on an FR4 substrate can achieve an impedance bandwidth of up to 8%, a gain of 6.2 dBi, and acceptable radiation characteristics at 2.4 GHz. Conclusions draw implications for future mobile handset antenna integration, emphasizing trade-offs between size, bandwidth, and efficiency. support the discourse, ensuring alignment with engineering conventions and plagiarism-free integrity.
