        abstract = {This paper compares the proximity-feed, coaxial feed, inset feed, and microstrip-line feeding methods of a rectangular microstrip patch antenna. Performance metrics like return loss, VSWR, gain, bandwidth, and radiation pattern are used to compare the feeding techniques. Antenna with different feed is designed for the same dimensions of patch, ground, and substrate. The antenna with distinct feed is resonating at 2.9 GHz, which is ideal for satellite, radar, and wireless applications. Antenna performance for various feeds is analyzed using the Ansys HFSS V.13 software.},
