Abstract

WiMax (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave access) has been established by the IEEE 802.16 working group. WiMax
antennas have high interest in recent years. Researchers are focusing on how to design antennas for WiMax technology. WiMax
has three allocated frequency bands. The low band (2. 5-2.69 GHz), the middle band (3.2-3.8 GHz) and the upper band (5.2- 5.8
GHz). WiMax theoretically can have coverage of up to 50 km radius. Due to its advantages such as low-cost, small size low
weight and capability to integrate with Microwave integrated circuits, the microstrip patch antenna is a very good candidate for
integrations in applications such as wireless communication systems, mobile phones and laptops. In this paper Two C-slot
microstrip antenna is designed and simulated for the WiMax frequency range of 3.2-3.8 GHz. The antenna is fed by Inset feeding
technique. The antenna is designed using FR4 as dielectric substrate.The characterization result of return loss, Voltage Standing
Wave Ratio are presented consecutively. From the result, it shows that the proposed antenna has the return loss of 36.43dB that
corresponds to VSWR of 1.03 at center frequency of 3.5 GHz.The antenna Extensively simulated on IE3D simulation software.
