Abstract: The growth of Microstrip patch antennas is rapidly increased in modern era of wireless communications due to their tremendous advantages like low cost, low profile and easily integrable to many VLSI circuit boards. As the demand of frequency spectrum is increases rapidly due to all communication applications are done using wireless. So, there is requirement of designing the antennas at Tera Hertz frequency range. In this paper, a U-shape slotted microstrip patch antenna is designed for tera hertz frequency RADAR applications. UShaped slot on the rectangular patch with substrate ROGERS/RT Duriod (5880) of relative permittivity of 2.2 is used. The designed antenna is used in police RADAR to monitoring the speed of vehicles and detecting the range. The performance characteristics of the antenna are evaluated by exploiting the parameters like Return loss, VSWR, Gain, and Directivity. The projected antenna is simulated using the EM Simulation Tool High Frequency Structure Simulation Tool (HFSS). All these parameters are tabulated with detailed analysis and calculations are listed.
