CIRCULAR PATCH ANTENNA

AIM : TO Design a circular Patch Antenna and plot its (1) 3D

Radiation Pattern (2) Return Loss as a function of frequency (3) VSWR
(4) 2D Radiation Pattern using HFSS. Assume the operating frequency
is at 2.72 GHz and the substrate used is FR4 epoxy with dielectric
constant of 2.94, loss tangent is 0.0001 and substrate height is 1.6mm.
Calculate the antenna parameters. Find the maximum gain, 3dB beam
width, Band width, VSWR and return loss. Calculate the directivity and
the antenna efficiency

TOOL USED : HFSS 15-0

PROCEDURE :
 1. Open new project >> Set solution type to Driven
terminal, Network Analysis. Set model units to mm.
2. Create a substrate using the ‘FR4’ epoxy material for the
dimensions x y and z.

3. Assign dielectric loss tangent to the FR4 epoxy material

of the box as 0.0001.
4. Create a circle of radius 18.8mm and center position at
0,0,1.6.
5. Open the caculator in Qucs app and give the dimensions
as following Er= 2.94, H=1.66mm ,T=35um and
synthesize it to get width and length values .
6. Create a rectangle with Width = 4.04132 and breadth =
17.8073 .
7. Create the ground geometry with x=y=72.
8. Unite the patch and ground using Edit >> Boolean >>
Unite.
9. Assign boundary conditions (Perfect E) for the ground
and circular patch antenna
10. Create an air box using vacuum as the material, to
contain the antenna. Assign boundary conditions >>
Radiation for the same.
10.Initiate the port setup by creating a box in the ZX plane,
connecting the ground geometry and the feedline.
Assign Excitation >> Lumped port
11.Validate the model using HFSS >> Validation check.
Then Analyse all.
 12.Display the appropriate graphs and results that are
listed under HFSS >> Results.
