I. INTRODUCTION
The wireless telecommunication system is becoming most
popular system used nowadays, and it was rapidly over the last
two decades. As with new development system technologies,
there has been an increased user demand for high data rate and
miniaturize size of the printed antennas. There are many types
of microstrip antenna in telecommunication area such YagiUda [1], dipole antenna [2], monopole [3] bow-tie antenna [4],
PIFA antenna [5], Minkowski shaped [6] and others. This
microstrip antenna are wide range use in many applications
such as wireless local area network (WLAN), worldwide
interoperability for microwave access (WiMAX), global
positioning system (GPS) and radio frequency identification
(RFID) area.
RFID technology initially developed around World War II.
This non-contact two-way data communication consists
transmitter and receiver part in the system. For example is
reader-tag-reader UHF RFID system that receives the signal
from RFID reader antenna to RFID tag via open space [7].
Another application that used this RFID technology are
barcode successors to retail supply chain, remote monitoring,
and healthcare monitoring system.
This RFID technology basically had the capability in
tracking and provides a wireless identification system. RF
antenna is one of the components in this RFID system. RFID

The ground plane width is while the length is same as the FR-4
substrate of the basic rectangular patch antenna. The substrate
dimension is 41.44 mm width x 36.62 mm length.

Then, the length, the width, the input impedance of the patch
had been evaluated and the nested fed dimensions. After that
all the dimensions need to be changed to get better
performance of the antenna, i.e. radiation patterns, reflected
loss, efficiency and antenna gain by simulating it using
simulation CST.

IV. CONCLUSION
The designed, simulated, fabricated and measured
rectangular microstrip patch antenna with H-shaped slot patch
has been accomplished by using CST simulation software and
measured work in the laboratory. This work, managed to obtain
the frequency, gain, return loss and radiation pattern at
frequencies 2.4 GHz for WLAN application and 2.45 GHz for
RFID application. All the target of the specification had been
achieved. For future design, we can improve our antenna
stability of the coverage by changing the thickness of the
copper and substrate.
For design structure in the future, the performance
significantly can be improved by using another method such as
embedded split ring resonator (SRR) added dielectric resonator
on the patch antenna. For the improvement the gain
performance, the array of antenna can be used. It can improve
about double the value of gain. Besides that, the type of the slot
antenna also can be improving the gain.
