Transmission-Line Model It is the easiest approach to model and analyze the microstrip patch antenna. It is also less accurate, but gives a good physical insight. EM Cavity Model It is more complex than the transmission line model, and it is more accurate. It also gives physical insight. Full-Wave Model It is the most accurate, versatile, and easiest to simulate of all three models. It is also the most complex and has less physical insight. Microstrip Patch Antennas Slide 18 Transmission-Line Model The transmission-line model represents the microstrip antenna by two slots, separated by a low-impedance 푍푐 transmission line of length L. Looking at a cross section of the antenna (x-y plane), this is effectively a non- homogeneous transmission line. Fringing effects make the microstrip line look wider than it is. Effective dielectric constant is introduced to account for this.

  • Chapter 5 the Microstrip Antenna
    CHAPTER 5 THE MICROSTRIP ANTENNA 5.1 Introduction Applications that require low-profile, light weight, easily manufactured, inexpensive, conformable antennas often use some form of a microstrip radiator. The microstrip antenna (MSA) is a resonant structure that consists of a dielectric substrate sandwiched between a metallic conducting patch and a ground plane. The MSA is commonly excited using a microstrip edge feed or a coaxial probe. The canonical forms of the MSA are the rectangular and circular patch MSAs. The rectangular patch antenna in Figure 5.1 is fed using a microstrip edge feed and the circular patch antenna is fed using a coaxial probe. (a) (b) Coaxial Feed Microstrip Feed Figure 5.1. (a) A rectangular patch microstrip antenna fed with a microstrip edge feed. (b) A circular patch microstrip antenna fed with a coaxial probe feed. The patch shapes in Figure 5.1 are symmetric and their radiation is easy to model. However, application specific patch shapes are often used to optimize certain aspects of MSA performance. 154 The earliest work on the MSA was performed in the 1950s by Gutton and Baissinot in France and Deschamps in the United States. [1] Demand for low-profile antennas increased in the 1970s, and interest in the MSA was renewed. Notably, Munson obtained the original patent on the MSA, and Howell published the first experimental data involving circular and rectangular patch MSA characteristics. [1] Today the MSA is widely used in practice due to its low profile, light weight, cheap manufacturing costs, and potential conformability. [2] A number of methods are used to model the performance of the MSA.

  • Low-Profile Wideband Antennas Based on Tightly Coupled Dipole
    Low-Profile Wideband Antennas Based on Tightly Coupled Dipole and Patch Elements Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Erdinc Irci, B.S., M.S. Graduate Program in Electrical and Computer Engineering The Ohio State University 2011 Dissertation Committee: John L. Volakis, Advisor Kubilay Sertel, Co-advisor Robert J. Burkholder Fernando L. Teixeira c Copyright by Erdinc Irci 2011 Abstract There is strong interest to combine many antenna functionalities within a single, wideband aperture. However, size restrictions and conformal installation requirements are major obstacles to this goal (in terms of gain and bandwidth). Of particular importance is bandwidth; which, as is well known, decreases when the antenna is placed closer to the ground plane. Hence, recent efforts on EBG and AMC ground planes were aimed at mitigating this deterioration for low-profile antennas. In this dissertation, we propose a new class of tightly coupled arrays (TCAs) which exhibit substantially broader bandwidth than a single patch antenna of the same size. The enhancement is due to the cancellation of the ground plane inductance by the capacitance of the TCA aperture. This concept of reactive impedance cancellation was motivated by the ultrawideband (UWB) current sheet array (CSA) introduced by Munk in 2003. We demonstrate that as broad as 7:1 UWB operation can be achieved for an aperture as thin as λ/17 at the lowest frequency. This is a 40% larger wideband performance and 35% thinner profile as compared to the CSA. Much of the dissertation’s focus is on adapting the conformal TCA concept to small and very low-profile finite arrays.

  • Evaluation of an Electronically Switched Directional Antenna for Real-World Low-Power Wireless Networks
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Swedish Institute of Computer Science Publications Database Evaluation of an Electronically Switched Directional Antenna for Real-world Low-power Wireless Networks Erik Ostr¨ om,¨ Luca Mottola, Thiemo Voigt Swedish Institute of Computer Science (SICS), Kista, Sweden Abstract. We present the real-world evaluation of SPIDA, an electronically swit- ched directional antenna. Compared to most existing work in the field, SPIDA is practical as well as inexpensive. We interface SPIDA with an off-the-shelf sensor node which provides us with a fully working real-world prototype. We assess the performance of our prototype by comparing the behavior of SPIDA against tradi- tional omni-directional antennas. Our results demonstrate that the SPIDA proto- type concentrates the radiated power only in given directions, thus enabling in- creased communication range at no additional energy cost. In addition, compared to the other antennas we consider, we observe more stable link performance and better correspondence between the link performance and common link quality estimators. 1 Introduction The use of external antennas is a common design choice in many deployments of low- power wireless networks [13]. Indeed, an external antenna often features higher gains compared to the antennas found aboard mainstream devices, enabling increased relia- bility in communication at no additional energy cost. To implement such design, re- searchers and domain-experts have hitherto borrowed the required technology from WiFi networks [10, 22]. This holds both w.r.t. scenarios requiring omni-directional communication [22], and where the application at hand allows directional communica- tion [10].

The proposed antenna is simulated with the help of HFSS. The aim of this paper is to design and fabricate the Rectangular Microstrip Antenna and study the effect of antenna dimensions Length (L) , Width (W) and substrate parameters relative dielectric constant (εr), substrate thickness on power, vswr, return loss, impedance, admittance parameters. Low dielectric constant substrates are generally preferred for maximum radiation. Conducting patch can take any of the shape but rectangular and circular configurations are the most commonly used configuration. The other configurations are more complex to analyze and require heavy numerical computations. The length of the antenna is nearly half wavelength in the dielectric; it is a very critical parameter, which governs or control the resonant frequency of patch antenna. In the view of design, selection of patch width and length are the major parameters along with feed line depth. The desired microstrip patch antenna design is initially simulated by using HFSS simulator and patch antenna is realized as per design requirements. Keywords: Compact, Rectangular, WLAN, HFSS, Coaxial feed resonance frequency, gain are changed which may I. INTRODUCTION seriously degrade or upgrade the system performance.

The inventory of the on-going research covers both the software and hardware activities, and it will help in defining most useful antenna architectures & geometries and in organizing students/Ph.D exchange between various European academies and companies. When designing conformal antennas it is convenient to use specialized programs for specific conformal geometries that are fast and often more accurate than general electromagnetic solvers since they explicitly take into account the antenna geometry. Therefore, a detailed description of the developed software packages for analysing conformal antennas is presented. The developed arrays covers most-interesting types of conformal antennas, and they will be used as conformal benchmarking structures to judge antenna software tools on its performance. This will help in selecting proper software for some particular problem, and in integration of different software tools.

Received: 10 November 2020; Accepted: 7 December 2020; Published: 10 December 2020 Abstract: Through the years, inspiration from nature has taken the lead for technological development and improvement. This concept firmly applies to the design of the antennas, whose performances receive a relevant boost due to the implementation of bio-inspired geometries. In particular, this idea holds in the present scenario, where antennas working in the higher frequency range (5G and mm-wave), require wide bandwidth and high gain; nonetheless, ease of fabrication and rapid production still have their importance. To this aim, polymer-based 3D antennas, such as Dielectric Resonator Antennas (DRAs) have been considered as suitable for fulfilling antenna performance and fabrication requirements. Differently from numerous works related to planar-metal-based antenna development, bio-inspired DRAs for 5G and mm-wave applications are at their beginning.
