M Microstrip antenna is an antenna with small dimensions, compact form, easy to fabricate and can be integrated with other electronic devices. Applications of microstrip antennas include telemetry, satellite communications, radar, and television broadcast receiving antennas. In this thesis, two types of microstrip antennas are designed, namely the microstrip patch antenna and the Microstrip Slot Antenna (MSA). Both antennas are designed for digital television broadcast receiving antenna applications operating in the band U1-11' (478 MI-lz - 806 MHz). The design and simulation of the antenna was carried out using AWR Microwave Office 2004 software, the fabrication of the designed antenna using FR-4 (Epoxy) dielectric substrate material. To increase the bandwidth performance of the two designed antennas, proximity coupling is used. The physical dimensions of the microstrip antenna can be reduced by using the slot technique (MSA). The simulation result of the antenna design in this thesis is a microstrip antenna that can work at a frequency of 642 Wiz with an impedance bandwidth of >. 50 %, for VSWR < 2. The input impedance of the patch antenna is 49.95 Q and 50.13 f2 for MSA. The optimum physical dimension of the antenna is 160 mm x 130 mm for microstrip patch antenna while for MSA it is 120 mm x 100 mm. The use of the slot technique on MSA can reduce the dimensions of the antenna up to 42.3%. The radiation pattern produced by the two antennas is bidirectional, where the strongest radiation is generated at an angle of 20° for MSA and 210° k micro, (Itch antenna.
