Abstract
This paper presents a unidirectional pattern antenna implemented by rectangular microstrip patch for wireless local area network. This rectangular patch is firstly designed to provide a dominant mode propagation at 2.45 GHz. Then, parametric studies are investigated to achieve appropriate parameters. It is found that this antenna provides a unidirectional pattern with maximum gain of 2.7 dBi together with magnitude of S11 better than -10 dB covered the WLAN frequency from 2.4 to 2.48 GHz. In addition, both simulated and measured results are in good agreement.
