The development of high-frequency wireless communication like 3G or 4G via microstrip patch antennas made of copper subject material has driven the emanation of harmful ionizing electromagnetic radiations as copper is a particularly extremely high electromagnetic conducting material. This radiation has a high effect on the environment which will motive life-threatening to humans, and the natural world. Moreover, the mentioned radiation due to upcoming ultra-high frequency 5G wireless communication will decline the life of humankind and the surroundings causing more rise in Global warming because of heating of earth’s atmosphere through combos of ultraviolet (UV) waves, X-rays, Gamma Rays and RF waves as these waves in assortments will generate electromagnetic heat waves at super-high frequencies. In this research study, using FEKO software, the authors have designed, examined and compared microstrip patch antennas made of radiation shielding materials with that of commonly used copper material patch resonating at 2.4 GHz and 26 GHz placed on the frequently used fabrication ease and low-cost substrate such as FR-4, and Rogers RT Duroid 5880. The findings show that the radiation power level diminishes after the usage of microstrip patches made up of radiation shielding materials thus indicating electromagnetic radiation emitted by radiation shielding materials are eco-friendly and will also be sustainable for the environment and living beings. The efficiency of the proposed microstrip antenna with regards to return loss and bandwidth is showing improvements with each radiation shielding material as microstrip patches with that of copper material.
