In this project, a rectangular patch antenna with back slits slots on the ground plane is proposed and investigated. This proposed antenna is named as rectangular back-slits patch antenna that will have return loss, S1, 1 lower than-20dB and voltage standing wave ratio, VSWR less than 1.5 respectively. This proposed antenna provides bidirectional-polarization pattern and operating at frequency of 2.6 GHz which is for 4G mobile phones application that will cover spectrum band of 900 Mhzto 1800 Mhz in LTEtechnology. The gain and directivity for this proposed antenna are 1.559dB and 5.378dBi. The substrate used is FR4 lossy which have dielectric constant of 5.0 and thickness of 1.6mm.Details of the antenna design and simulation are prepared and discussed.
