For the transmission of signals at higher frequencies, there is a requirement for extension of a higher capacity system and higher bandwidth in wireless communication systems. The use of smart antenna increases the system performance with the arrangements of its constituent elements and digital signal processing capacity. Analysis and design of smart antenna arrays can be performed for wireless communication systems using various methods and approaches. One of these methods is circular pin-fed linearly polarized patch antenna has been adopted in this research work.
This work presents the design and analysis of smart antenna by circular pin-fed linearly polarized patch antenna. Patch antenna is a very prominent antenna in the microwave frequency spectrum due to its simplicity and compatibility with the printed circuit board (PCB) technology.
