Abstract

Microstrip antenna is one of the popular techniques uses today. This project objective is to design meander line antenna for WLAN application that is 2.4 GHz has been achieve. The meander line microstrip antenna has been designed base on the wavelength of the interested frequency. In this project, a 2.4 GHz meander line microstrip antenna has been designed, constructed, and measured. The microstrip element is quarter of a wavelength at the design frequency. The properties of the antenna like return loss, number of iteration, bandwidth and radiation pattern have been measured. The design starts with calculation of the dimension like the width, effective dielectric constant of microstrip line, and the length of the antenna. Then by using the Microwave Office software, the antenna has been designed and simulated. Simulation methods like EM Structure simulation has been introduced as apply to this design. As the result, the antenna can radiate the signal at WLAN frequency and provide good return loss, bandwidth, and sufficient gain. This antenna can operate less that -10 dB that is 2.4 GHz with at Sll measured at -37.70 dB. After fmish with the simulation, the design has been fabricate on the FR4 board using the etching technique. Finally the design has been tested with the Network Analyzer.
