Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) systems have been widely used in industries due to its various advantages. The RFID systems demand low cost and low profile antennas. Microstrip patch antennas offer a potential solution for narrowband applications. It becomes popular and widely used because of its ease of analysis and fabrication, low cost, light weight, easy to feed and their attractive radiation characteristics. In this project, a new G-slot microstrip patch antenna has been design for RFID applications by involving parametric study. This patch antenna are designed using FR4 dielectric substrate with the permittivity Ԑr = 4.9. The proposed patch antenna is designed and simulated on CST Microwave Studio simulation software at 5 GHz with a gain of 3.885dB, return loss of -46.9dB and bandwidth of 9.73%.
