1. (a). Advantages:
 Ease of manufacturing
 It has a very low fabrication cost.
 Microstrip patch antennas are efficient radiators.
 It has a support for both linear and circular polarization.
 Easy in integration with microwave integration circuits.
(b). Disadvantages:
 Low impedance bandwidth.
 Low gain.
 Extra radiation occurs from its feeds and junctions.
 Excitation of surface waves.
 Size of micro strip antenna comes in both advantages and disadvantages but there are
some applications where the size of microstrip antenna is too large to be used.
