The study will also explain why the PCB antenna is continuously being developed. The paper will also explain how PCB antennas work. This research aims to create and simulate a working Printed circuit board antenna design. The study will be implemented using MATLAB and its toolboxes. The simulation will focus on the practicality of a PCB antenna and will show how it functions. The design of the PCB antenna will show the basic implementation of a smartphone antenna. The data that will be gathered will show how a smartphone antenna works in the real world. Through the data and results presented in the paper, the concept of how the signal transmission works within smartphones and how data is being sent and received will be explained. The study will give insights on how to improve upon current PCB antennas and what factors should be worked on to make more accurate, efficient and cost-efficient.
