 Introduction…

➢ The microstrip patch Antennas are invented in 1950s, However this concept had to wait
for about 20 years to be realised after the development of the printed circuit board
technology in the 1970, it is invented by Robert E munson.
➢ Microstrip patch Antennas are becoming increasingly useful because they can be
printed directly onto circuit board.
➢ Microstrip Antennas are becoming very widespread within the mobile phone market,
Antennas are low cost have a low profile and are easily fabricated.
➢ The Antenna that is formed by etching out a patch of conductive material on a dielectric
substrate is known as patch antenna.
➢ The dielectric material is mounted on the ground plane where the ground plane
supports the whole structure.
➢ Also the excitation to the antenna is provided using feed lines connected through the
patch as it is formed using a microstrip technique by fabricating on a printed circuit
board that is also known as microstrip antenna or printed antenna
➢ Generally patch Antennas are considered as low profile antenna and are used for
microwave frequencies applications having frequency greater than 100 MHz.
 Introduction…
➢ In todays world everything is getting wireless.

➢ It is done basically by “ANTENNAS” in the form of radiations.

➢ The Antenna includes 4 parts.

i. Ground
ii. Substrate
iii. Patch
iv. Feed

➢ Microstrip patch can be of any shape, Circular,

Ellipse, Square shapes are common.

➢ These are used in domains like, Automotive Communications, Satellite

Communications, Microwave global positioning systems etc.

➢ The designed Antenna is emitting EM Radiations at 2.4 GHz.

 Geometry…

❑ This range of radiating frequency can be utilized for Bluetooth and WLAN
applications.
❑ The Antenna is fed with Inset Feeding Techniuqe.

❑ The choice of Substrate material plays vital

role in the antenna design.

❑ We used FR-4 epoxy as substrate material

with Dielectric constant 4.4

❑ The height of the substrate used is H= 3.6 mm

❑ Antennas do both transmission and reception of signals

✓ The radius of the patch can be calculated by the
given formula
𝑭
𝒂= 𝟏
𝟐𝒉 𝝅𝑭 𝟐
𝟏 + 𝝅𝜺 𝑭 𝐥𝐧 + 𝟏. 𝟕𝟕𝟐𝟔
𝒓 𝟐𝒉
Where, 𝑭
𝟖. 𝟕𝟗𝟏 × 𝟏𝟎𝟗
=
𝒇𝒓 𝜺𝒓

✓ Radius of the patch is a=16.87 mm

✓ Basically we analyze parameters like Return loss, VSWR,
Gain.

Return loss:
✓ The return ls the power of the signal reflected caused by
mismatching bw transmission lines
✓ The Return loss of designed Antenna is -22.8 at Frequency
2.44 GHz, Which is considerable.
 Results and Discussions..
➢ The Fig shows Return

Antenna.

VSWR:

➢ Voltage Standing Wave Ratio

(VSWR) of the designed Ante
-nna is 1.25 at 2.44 GHz
➢ The value is very close to 1, which
is an ideal value for an Antenna

Field Distribution:

➢ Current Distribution of
designed Antenna is shown
in the Fig

Radiation Pattern:

➢ The Fig showing the main

lobe of radiation, which is
Radiating its maximum
towards Z direction
 Cont….
3D Polar Plot:
➢ This is 3D pattern of radiation of
designed antenna where the
color RED indicating maximum
radiation.

Gain:
➢ Gain is the ability of the antenna to radiate
More or less in any direction
➢ The Gain of designed Antenna
Is 4.3 db at 2.4 GHz
➢ Gain shows how strong the Signal is.
 Advantages
➢ Low fabrication cost, hence can be manufactured in large quantities.
➢ Easily integrated with microwave integrated circuits (MICs).
➢ Capable of dual and triple frequency operations.
➢ Supports both, linear as well as circular polarization.
➢ Low cost, Less size, Low Mass.
➢ Mechanically robust when mounted on rigid surfaces.
➢ High Performance
➢ Light weight and low volume.
 Disadvantages

➢ Narrow bandwidth associated with tolerence problem

➢ Lower Gain(Nearly 6db).
➢ Large ohmic losses in feed structure of arrays.
➢ Excitation of surface waves.
➢ Most microstrip antennas radiate into half-space.
➢ Relatively low efficiency (due to dielectric and conductor losses).
➢ relatively high level of cross polarization radiation
➢ Spurious feed radiation (surface waves, strips, etc.)
➢ Inherently low impedance bandwidth.
➢ Low efficiency.
➢ Extraneous radiation from feeds and junctions.
➢ Low power handling capacity.
 Applications

➢ Used in mobile satellite communication system.

➢ Direct broad cast television (DBS).
➢ Wire less LAN’S.
➢ Feed elements in coaxial system GPS system.
➢ Missiles and telementary.
➢ UHF Patch Antennas for Space.
 Conclusion…
➢ The feeding method uses in for fabrication explained in this
presentation is Inset Line Feeding Method, which has some
advantages like, it is Easy to fabricate, simple to model

➢ The slots etched during fabrication

of the Microstrip Patch Antenna on
the specific locations on patch based
on the current distribution of the antenna

➢ The Fig showing inset line feeding method

 Cont….
➢The achieved results show that are emphatically
effective as compared to others, very appropriate,
and easy to design.
 Cont…..
➢ This picture is our designed Microstrip patch Antenna
using HFSS software that includes ground, substrate,
patch, feedline and feed.
