Abstract

This research proposes four antenna designs. There are microstrip array patch rectangular (1x2 and 1x4) and microstrip array patch triangular (1x2 and 1x4). The most optimal antenna for use at a working frequency of 2,3 GHz is the antenna microstrip array patch rectangular 1x4 using the array shifting structure method. This antenna has success in forming two-beam (reconfigurable beam) arrangements in one antenna, each beam showing a graphical representation of the antenna alignment in the space plane including the propagation of the electric field (E) and the propagation of the magnetic field (H). The antenna parameter values for the left beam are: VSWR 1.27, return loss -18.36 dB, bandwidth 50 MHz, gain 3.47 dB, beamwidth azimuth (theta 90° = 115°, theta 170° = 145° and theta 270° = 115°) and a directional radiation pattern. While the antenna parameter values for the right beam are: VSWR 1.23, return loss -19.46 dB, bandwidth 60 MHz, gain 3.64 dB, beamwidth azimuth
(theta 90° = 100°, theta 170° = 150° and theta 270° = 100°) and a directional radiation pattern. Antenna design and simulation using Ansoft HFSS software version 15.
