Abstract
Microstrip patch antennas have become very popular and common due to their small size form factor, light weight and low cost. These microstrip antennas fitted suitable for wireless applications such as RFID applications which normally come in small and light structure. As of today there are many different types of RFID antenna designs with different shapes and dimensions, but most of them have an overall antenna size of around 100mm x 100m. In this paper, a novel optimized compact microstrip antenna design is introduced. The design operates in frequency of 2.45 GHz with circular polarization. The proposed design aims to reduce the overall microstrip patch size as much as possible while maintaining the antenna performances. Computer Simulation Tool (CST) software will be used to model and design the microstrip antenna to obtain optimized results..
