In this paper, small size microstrip patch antennas, loaded by symmetric and asymmetric T-shaped slots are designed and a comparative study of their performance at Bluetooth frequency band is presented. High frequency structure simulator (HFSS) software is used for antenna simulation. Improved bandwidth, uniform radiation pattern and good gain of the antenna are achieved using asymmetric T-slot microstrip antenna compared to symmetric T-slot microstrip antenna. The dimension of asymmetric T-slot microstrip antenna is 75% less than the symmetric T-slot microstrip antenna. Performance of the antennas, through parametric studies, related to the dimensions of the symmetric and asymmetric T-slots, is also presented.  </p>}, number={2}, journal={Asian Journal of Applied Sciences}, author={Chandra, Saurabh and Kumar, Pranaw and Roy, Jibendu Sekhar}, year={2017}, month={May} }
