The aim of the project is to design and fabricate rectangular Microstrip Patch

Antenna and study the effect of antenna dimensions Length (L), substrate

Dielectric constant (€r) , Substrate thickness (h) on the Radiation parameters of

Bandwidth and Beam-width.

And also the effect of various dielectric constants on rectangular Microstrip patch

antenna performance is investigated. By keeping the substrate Thickness Constant

over various dielectric constants from 2.2 to 12.

Investigation of Simulated response using IE3D Simulator and MATLAB.

Objective

The main reasons are……..

With the wide spread proliferation of wireless communication technology in recent years, the demand for compact, low profile and broadband antennas has increased significantly.

Sizes and weights of various wireless electronic systems (e.g. mobile handsets) have rapidly reduced due to the development of modern integrated circuit technology.

A Microstrip antenna (MSA) is well suited for wireless communication due to its light weight, low volume and low profile planar configuration which can be easily conformed to the host surface.

However, MSAs suffers from low bandwidth. MSA bandwidth is greatly affected by the dielectric substrate material used in its design.

An antenna projects radiation into space.

Microstrip antennas starting in 1970s, although the idea of a microstrip

antenna is a patent in 1955.

Microstrip antennas consist of very thin layer metallic strip (patch) placed a

small fraction of a wavelength (h<< λ0) above a ground plane.

A source is used to feed the antenna.

Antennas radiate better in certain directions and not as well in others.

Feed Techniques

• Microstrip patch antennas can be fed by a variety of methods.

• These methods can be classified into two categories- 1.contacting 2.non-contacting.

• In the contacting method, the RF power is fed directly to the radiating patch using a connecting element such as a microstrip line.

• In the non-contacting scheme, electromagnetic field coupling is done to transfer power between the microstrip line and the radiating patch

Different Types of Feeding Techniques

Comparison of different feed techniques

Advantages Low cost ,small size ,no cutoff frequency Compatibility to monolithic circuits

Disadvantages Higher loss, lower power-handling capability Greater temperature instability

Comparison between simulated and measured results of different dielectric

constant.

Methodology of the Project

The essential parameters for the design are:

Height of the substrate = 1.59mm

The height h of the dielectric substrate is usually 0.003 λo≤h≤0.05 λo.

The resonant frequency selected for my design is 2.0 GHz.

Dielectric constant of the substrate (€r): The dielectric material selected for my design is variable.

For Duroid 5880 = 2.2

For slicon = 2.55

For FR4 = 4.0

For Alumina = 9.8

Designing Procedure:-

For an efficient radiator a practical width that leads to good radiation efficiency is calculated using equation 4.

Determine the effective dielectric constant of microstrip antenna using eq. 5

Determine the extension of the length dL using eq. 3.

Actual length of the patch can now be determine by solving eq. 1.

Designing Procedure for RP Antenna

Conclusion

In this project an antenna has been designed with different design parameters.

Taking all into consideration we can say that there are many aspects that affect the performance of antenna.

Dimensions, selection of the substrate, Feed techniques and also the operating frequency can also effect the performance.

The characteristics of proposed antennas have been investigated through different parametric studies using IE3D simulation software and MATLAB.

Integrating Monolithic MIC technology is still a most challenging problem. Integration of new material such as Meta material , artifical magnetic conductors and soft/hard surfaces into antenna technology offers many opportunites.

Because of many new applications, the lower portion of the EM spectrum has been saturated and design have been pushed to higher frequencies, including the millimeter wave frequency bands.
