3. Introduction
An Antenna converts electromagnetic radiation into electric current, or vice versa.
Why do we need of Antenna ?
For transmission and reception of the radio signal.
For electromagnetic waves carry signals through the air (or through space) at the speed of light with almost no transmission loss.
Wireless performance is completely dependent on a high performance antenna design and implementation.

7. Return Loss (S11)
Antenna resonates at 1.83 GHz and 2.28 GHz with return loss dB and dB respectively

8. Radiation Pattern

9. 3D Gain Plot

10. VSWR
The assessment of VSWR is below 2 dB which is observed from the graph clearly. The VSWR is 0.23 and 0.57 at 1.83 GHz and 2.28 GHz respectively.

11. Conclusion
There are few conclusions that can be drawn from this thesis work:
A low profile and compact antenna with single feed and one radiating patch is presented in this paper.
The proposed antenna covers GPS L1 (1575 MHz), DCS-1800 ( MHz), PCS-1900 MHz ( MHz), 3G (2100 MHz), 4G (2300 MHz) and WLAN/ Bluetooth ( GHz) frequency bands.
Wider bandwidth of 1.16 GHz (1.35 GHz ) is achieved with the help of two open ended slots etched on ground plane.
The proposed antenna is suitable for its use in compact wireless devices.
