In this paper, a microstrip bowtie patch antenna (MBPA) for wireless indoor communications is carried out. The objective was to design a microstrip transmission-line feed network to match the MBPA and reduce the back lobes compared to bowtie sheet antennas. The methodology involved simulating the antenna's far-field pattern using a finite-element numerical algorithm and validating it with near-field measurements. The results indicated that the fabricated antenna, resonating at 2.11 GHz, achieved a gain of approximately 8.77 dBi with beam-widths exceeding 100 degrees in the E plane. The measured S11 parameter showed good agreement with simulation results, highlighting the MBPA's superior bandwidth compared to traditional rectangular and circular microstrip patch antennas. Furthermore, the MBPA design proved adaptable for use at 1.09 GHz, albeit with a corresponding decrease in beamwidth. These findings demonstrated the MBPA's feasibility for practical applications in indoor radio communications systems.
