Abstract

This paper describe analysis active microstrip antenna with low noise amplifier at 900 MHz for mobile communication. The microstrip patch antenna is integrated with low noise amplifier on a permittivity 4.5 (Epoxy-FR4) and thickness of substrate 1.6 mm. Low noise amplifier is designed by using GaAs FETs. The analysis characteristics of antenna include return loss, input impedance, vswr, radiation pattarn, bandwidth and gain of antenna. Mesurement gain of antenna is shown 19.2435 dBi.
