2.4. Rectangular patch antenna Microstrip antenna is also called as a patch antenna. Microstrip patch antenna contains of a two sides. One side is a radiating patch of a dielectric substrate and the other side is the ground plane side as shown in Fig 2.2. Generally, patch antenna consists of materials that have good conducting properties such as Gold and Copper and it can be made any possible shape.

Pacific Garbage Patch is an accumulation of marine debris in the North Pacific Ocean. Marine debris is trash that culminates up in oceans, seas, and other sizable voluminous bodies of dihydrogen monoxide. Its also known as the Eastern Pacific Garbage Patch and the Pacific Trash Vortex. It’s located in a high-pressure area between the U.S. states of Hawaii and California. This area is in the middle of the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre. For many people, the conception of a “garbage patch” displays images
the Great Pacific Garbage Patch (McLendon). Society is unaware that the excess use of plastic and other non-biodegradable materials has ended up in the middle of the Pacific Ocean and is the main source of ocean pollution. The solutions, ranging from manual clean-up to eliminating any further obliteration to the Garbage Patch, will reduce the amount of effluence the world has to endure. Accumulating plastic bags, bottles and other debris, the Great Pacific Garbage Patch forms a tenuous junk yard
Around 80 percent of all floating waste found in the ocean is plastic (NRDC). Furthermore not all plastic floats, so the problems not just on the surface, it’s also below it. The Western Pacific Garbage Patch and Eastern Pacific Garbage Patch; collectively called The Great Pacific Garbage Patch, is the worlds biggest ocean garbage site. It is estimated to be twice the size of texas. These garbage patches are formed in gyres (systems of rotating ocean currents) and carry marine debris all over the
Garbage Patch”. This area is the largest landfill in the world and is completely in the ocean. What are the effects of the landfill on the environment and how can it be prevented and rehabilitated to its original state? The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is an area of the ocean filled with mostly rubbish, most of which are not biodegradable, such as plastic and glass. It continues to grow and accumulate each year and is twice the size of Texas! The existence of the “Great Pacific Garbage Patch” was
Pacific Garbage Patch, which is sometimes referred to as the Eastern Pacific Garbage Patch and the Pacific Trash Vortex is a floating patch of garbage that has collected in the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre, which is located in the middle of two high-pressure areas between Hawaii and California.

A five elements reconfigurable beam-steering parasitic patch array antenna is proposed in this letter. For patch-type antenna with parasitic array technique, the achievable beam scanning range is very limited in the range of -30° to +30° from the broadside. Increasing the number of parasitic elements does not provide significant beam scanning improvement where only additional 3° to 5° is achieved. Therefore, this research proposed an intergration of an additional parasitic elements with a novel approach
