Design of slit loaded rectangular microstrip patch antenna

This paper presents the design of rectangular slit loaded microstrip patch antenna (S-RMPA) operating at resonant frequency 2.4Ghz, .i.e. ISM Band (industrial scientific and medical), hence this antenna can be used for telemedicine purpose and such antennas are used as textile antennas because of their compact size. The development and utilization of textile antennas has grown rapidly for various applications. The main advantage of textile antennas is that they are designed as clothing elements that are able to transmit or receive wireless signals. RMPAs are well known for high efficiency, low profile, small size, good compatibility, easy to design and fabricate etc. The simulated results of characteristics modes of RMPA are presented in this study. Microstrip line feed is used for impedance matching as it is easy to fabricate, simple to match by controlling the inset position and are simple to model.
