Dhanda 2 Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering, Guru Nanak Institute of Technology, Mullana, Haryana, India > Review Paper 2017 7 13 2017 12 26 There are various types of antenna which are presently used for many applications. These antennas are generally printed antennas which are rigid and hard. An antenna consists of copper printed at the top and the bottom of dielectric substrate. The copper print on the upper part of the dielectric substrate represents the radiating part and the print on the lower part of the substrate represents the ground plane of an antenna. In this review paper we have furnished the pros and cons of a rectangular microstrip patch antenna. Copyright@ International Science Community Association
