Abstract: This study presents the efficient design of U-shape micro strip patch antenna for the application of RF energy harvesting. The U-shape microstrip antenna has become a speedily growing area with their application like mobiles and satellite communication. Microstrip antennas usually have a radiate conducting patch on a grounded microwave substrate. In the previous decade microstrip antennas caught the interest of a lot of designers as they have several attractive features as low profile, light weight, its ease of fabrication and allowing both linear polarization and circular polarization. The U-shaped patch antenna is to increase the bandwidth and also to reduce the antenna size. The antenna operating frequency range is 2.5 GHz and it can be used in RF energy harvester. The main aim of this study is to investigate, design and validate U-shape microstrip patch antenna. The VSWR, radiation pattern, return loss and bandwidth of the proposed antenna are explained and simulated using Ansoft HFSS Software package.
