ppt on microstrip patch antenna using hfss
The microstrip patch antenna is a popular printed resonant antenna for narrow-band microwave wireless links that require semi-hemispherical coverage. Due to its planar configuration and ease of integration with microstrip technology, the microstrip patch antenna has been heavily studied and is often used as elements for an array. In this tutorial, a 2.4 GHz microstrip patch antenna fed by a microstrip line on a 2.2 permittivity substrate is studied. The following topics are covered:
Model Setup
Waveport Feed
Airbox and Boundary Conditions
Meshing
Analysis/Sweep Setup
Plotting Results
From Simulation to Realization
In the Ansoft HFSS Tutorial 1, a microstrip patch antenna was simulated and the numerical return loss and radiation patterns were shown. The purpose of this tutorial is to further discuss the microstrip patch antenna and to present the experimental results. In particular, the dimensions of the patch are given along with the feed network. Discussion of the dimensions and how they were obtained are presented. The fabricated microstrip patch antenna is also shown. The experimental return loss and the experimental E- and H-plane radiation patterns are compared with the Ansoft HFSS results. In addition, a three-dimensional radiation pattern of the fabricated antenna is also shown. The purpose of this tutorial is to show readers a comparison of numerical and experimental results.
