Abstract

FR-4 and NPC-220AH substrates are used to design antennas with Multiband frequency. This research, therefore, aims to design varying performance Curved Microstripline Array Antenna, with optimized parameters. This was carried out with the difference substrate in the simulation program. In addition, the proposed antenna is analyzed to determine the return loss (S11 parameter), Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR), Gain, and Radiation Pattern. The result showed that the microstrip antenna design uses the dielectric substrate materials of varying constant values. In conclusion, this study suggests the use of cost-effective substrate materials.
