Microstrip antenna

A microstrip antenna is a type of antenna commonly used in modern electronic devices, such as smartphones and GPS units. It consists of a thin, flat piece of metal (the patch) placed on a special insulating surface (substrate). This design allows for lightweight, compact, and cost-effective antennas that can be easily integrated into circuitry. Microstrip antennas transmit and receive radio waves efficiently, making them ideal for wireless communication. Their low profile and ease of manufacturing have made them popular in many applications requiring reliable, small antennas.
