CHAPTER 4. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

This chapter presents the results of the simulation for the Microstrip patch antenna

using two distinct feeding technique, namely, S-parameters, VSWR, Radiation pattern, E-

field, H-field and Gain of the antenna. Furthermore, the analysis of the collected data is

also presented in this chapter.

4.1 Parameter Sweep Results of Microstrip Line Feed Technique with FR-4

Substrate Using CST Suite Studio.

This portion of the study involves the modeling of a Microstrip Patch Antenna

that functions within the frequency range of 2.395GHz-2.417GHz. The simulations

conducted includes the performance evaluation of the proposed antenna design, which

uses line feeding technique with FR4 substrate to get the optimum antenna. Design no.1

displays the geometrical shape of the patch antenna using microstrip line feed technique

with FR4 substrate., which was simulated using CST Suite Studio. The patch width (Pw),

patch length (Pl), and the lower and upper slot width (Sw) dimensions were modified and

adjusted to evaluate the antenna's resonant frequency, return loss , VSWR, bandwidth,

gain, E-field, H-field, and radiation pattern that operates at 2.4 GHz. The results of the

parameter sweep which displays the modified dimensions can be found in Chapter 4.1.1.

Table 4.5 displays the parameter sweep results of the optimized antenna. The

length adjustment has a low VSWR, indicating good impedance matching, and a

relatively high return loss , indicating that the antenna is reflecting less power back to the

source. The bandwidth is relatively narrow, but the gain is relatively high at 1.973 dBi. In

the other hand, width adjustment has an even lower VSWR, indicating even better

impedance matching. The return loss is also higher than the length configuration,

indicating better performance in terms of reflected power. The bandwidth is slightly

wider, but the gain is slightly lower at 1.943 dBi. In addition, upper slot width adjustment

has a higher VSWR than the previous two configurations, indicating poorer impedance

matching. The return loss is also lower than the previous two configurations, indicating

poorer performance in terms of reflected power. The bandwidth is slightly narrower than

the first two configurations, and the gain is slightly lower at 1.834 dBi. And lastly, lower

slot width adjustment has a slightly higher VSWR than the second configuration but still
103

relatively low compared to the first and third configurations. The return loss is slightly

lower than the first configuration but still relatively high compared to the third

configuration. The bandwidth is slightly wider than the third configuration, and the gain

is slightly higher at 1.899 dBi.

Overall, the four configurations exhibit similar performance in terms of resonant

frequency and bandwidth, but there are variations in terms of VSWR, return loss , and

gain. The first two configurations have better VSWR and return loss but slightly lower

gain, while the third and fourth configurations have slightly lower VSWR and return loss

but slightly higher gain.

Figure 4.104 VSWR of Optimum Patch Antennas

Table 4.21 shows the optimum antenna of the proposed design. The VSWR and S-

parameters of the antenna is shown in Figure 4.103 and figure 4.104. The Design 1 has a

relatively low VSWR, which indicates a good impedance match between the antenna and

the feedline. It also has a relatively wide bandwidth, which means it can operate over a

large frequency range. However, the gain of 1.899 is relatively low, which may limit the

coverage area of the antenna. While Design 2 has a slightly higher VSWR than Design 1,

but still within an acceptable range. It has a narrower bandwidth than Design 1, which

means it may not be able to operate over as large a frequency range. However, it has a

higher gain of 4.797, which means it can provide better coverage over a longer distance.

In addition, Design 3 has a higher VSWR than Design 1 and 2, which may indicate a

poorer impedance match. However, it has a wider bandwidth than both designs, which

means it can operate over a larger frequency range. The gain of 3.517 is also higher than

Design 1, but lower than Design 2. Lastly, Design 4 has the highest gain of all four
168

designs, which means it can provide the best coverage over a longer distance. However, it

has a relatively high VSWR and a narrow bandwidth, which means it may not be as

effective over a wide frequency range.

Overall, each design has its strengths and weaknesses, and the choice of the best

antenna design will depend on the specific application and the trade-offs between VSWR,

bandwidth, return loss , and gain.

CHAPTER 5. RESULTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Conclusion

In this study, various antenna designs were analyzed based on parameters such as

gain, bandwidth, return loss , and VSWR. Each design had its strengths and weaknesses,

and the best antenna design depended on the specific application and trade-offs between

the parameters. Design 3 appeared to have the best overall performance based on the

parameters provided in the table, with the highest gain, relatively wide bandwidth, and

low return loss , but with a higher VSWR compared to other designs. Regarding substrate

materials, FR4 substrate is commonly used for antenna design due to its low cost and

availability, while RO4003C is a higher-end substrate that may offer advantages in

dielectric properties and performance at high frequencies. However, the higher cost of

RO4003C may not be justified for many applications where FR4 is sufficient. Thus, if

cost is a significant consideration, it may be more practical to use FR4 substrate. The

specific choice of substrate material should be based on careful consideration of the

performance requirements, availability, ease of manufacturing, and environmental

factors. Ultimately, the best antenna design and substrate material should be based on a

careful analysis of the requirements and trade-offs of each parameter in the specific

application.

In conclusion, the choice of the best antenna design will depend on the specific

requirements of the application, and a careful analysis of the parameters is necessary to


170

make an informed decision. Based on the parameters provided in the table, Design 3

appears to have the best overall performance. It has the highest gain among the designs,

while also having a relatively wide bandwidth and low return loss . However, its VSWR

is relatively high compared to the other designs, which may be a concern in some

applications. When it comes to the choice of substrate material, FR4 is a cost-effective

solution that is widely used in the electronic industry, while RO4003C is a higher-end

substrate that may offer better performance at high frequencies but may not be justified

for many applications due to its higher cost.

Ultimately, the choice of the best antenna design will depend on a careful

consideration of the specific requirements of the application, as well as factors such as

cost, availability, and ease of manufacturing.

Table 5.1 Summary of Conclusion


Design Observation
Design No.1 Has a relatively low VSWR and a wide bandwidth, but a relatively low
gain
Design No.2 Has a slightly higher VSWR, a narrower bandwidth, but a higher gain
than design 1.
Design No.3 Has a higher VSWR, a wider bandwidth than both designs, and a higher
gain than design 1 but lower than design 2.
Design No.4 Has the highest gain of all four designs, but a relatively high VSWR
and a narrow bandwidth.

Recommendations

Based on our analysis, we recommend that future research on antenna design

should focus on;


171

1. Developing designs that offer a balance between the parameters of gain,

bandwidth, return loss , and VSWR. This can be achieved through innovative

design techniques such as metamaterials, which have shown promising results in

improving antenna performance.

2. Considering a real-world factor such as environmental conditions and interference

when testing antenna designs, as these factors can have a significant impact on the

performance of the antenna.

3. The researcher suggests manufacturing the designed antenna and evaluating its

performance through a comparison.

4. It is recommended to conduct further testing and analysis of the selected antenna

design and substrate material to validate their performance in the specific

application and ensure that they meet the desired requirements.
