This research describes the design and simulation of the rectangular microstrip patch antenna using MicroWave Office 2000 version 3.22 and subsequently derives several relationships for the purpose to determine the performance of the antenna designed. This research involves software simulation, where several parameters comprising the frequency of operation, dielectric constant, type of dielectric material to be used, tangent loss, etc. were preset prior to the design of the antenna. MicroWave Office 2000 simulation software was used to generate the Smith Chart, VSWR, S11 Magnitude or Return Loss and Impedance Chart. From the charts generated, various results were then tabulated in tabular form. Previous works done by other researchers were also referred to.
