ABSTRACT
This paper presents the design of antenna operating in ISM band at 2.4 GHz. It is designed for dual polarization application. This antenna consists of a square patch with an inserted plus slot is at centre, Dual probe feed and a ground plane. The antenna will realize on substrate FR4 with relative permittivity of 4.4 and loss tangent of 0.02. The simulation process is done by using High Frequency Structure Simulator (HFSS). The simulated results have shown that, it has more than 15 dB isolation with a moderate antenna gain of 5.99 dB.
ANTENNA STRUCTURE
Figure 1 shows the geometry of a Square MSA with dual probe feed. The antenna is fabricated on FR4 substrate with dielectric constant of 4.4 and thickness of hd. The patch has a width of w and is printed on the top side of a thin dielectric substrate, which is placed above a ground plane at a height of h a. The antenna is excited by two probes to obtain linear polarization. The probes are located at a distance D from the patch centre. The inserted slot is located on radiating patch. The probe distance is only for good impedance matching.

Figure 1: Antenna Structure Figure 2.shows the simulated return loss and isolation of the antenna versus the frequencies in the 1.8 - 3 GHz frequency range for the probe distances D. In this case the isolation has a maximum value of 27 dB at the frequency of 2.24 GHz with return loss of 24dB at resonant frequency of 2.45GHz. Bandwidth (defined by return loss 10 dB) is 230 MHz.

CONCLUSIONS
A dual-polarized microstrip antenna with high isolation is simulated. The high isolation is achieved by inserting centre slot into the radiating patch. Simulated results show that the antenna has more than 15 dB isolation with the moderate antenna gain of 5.99 dB. The use of orthogonal polarization to provide two communication channel at same frequency.
