Design of Flexible 3.2 GHz Rectangular Microstrip Patch Antenna for S-Band Communication

This paper presents the design, simulation, realization and analysis of flexible microstrip patch antenna for S-band applications. The proposed design also adopts the conformal structure by utilizing flexible substrate. Conformal or flexible structure allows the antenna to fit with any specified shape as desired. The antenna patch dimensions is 43 mm × 25 mm without SMA connector. The patch is etched on the flexible dielectric substrate, pyralux FR 9111, with a relative dielectric constant of εr = 3 and the thickness of substrate, h = 0.025 mm. The antenna is designed to resonate at 3.2 GHz. The return loss (RL) of the simulation is -35.80 dB at the center frequency of 3.2 GHz. The fabricated antenna prototype was measured at different bending angles scenarios including 0º, 30º, 60º, and 90º. The measurement of antenna prototype shows that the center frequency is shifted to the higher frequency of 3.29 GHz, compared to the simulation result. Among these scenarios, measurement at bending angle of 90º gives the best performance with RL = - 31.38 dB at 3.29 GHz, the bandwidth is 80 MHz, and the impedance ZA = 48.36 + j2.04 Ω. Despite a slight differences from simulation results, the designed antenna still performs well as expected.

The operating frequency of the proposed antenna is 8.4 GHz & 11 GHz with dielectric substrate, ARLON of = 2.5 and h= 1.6mm. Keywords: ARLON substrate material, FEM, Microstrip Feed Line, X band

A Compact Disc Shaped Microstrip Patch Antenna Using Inset Fed at 5GHz for Satellite Communications

This examination work is focused around planning and simulating another kind of inset feed Disc Shaped Microstrip Patch Antenna (DSMPA) with Inset feed and Defected ground plane (DGP). By presenting a round space at the focal point of the ground plane, improved attributes of Microstrip patch antenna can be accomplished. The proposed Disc Shaped Microstrip patch antenna is reverberating at 5 GHz. Simulation has been finished by utilizing reenactment programming HFSS version15. From recreation results, it discovers that our examined Disc Shaped Microstrip patch antenna yields better return loss of - 25.1 dB & VSWR estimation of 0.96 dB. The examined DSMPA is yielding a higher radiation efficiency of 77.20 %. The minimized size and higher radiation efficiency contrasted with rectangular Microstrip patch antenna makes it all the more generally helpful for satellite communications.

Dual-band Rectangular Microstrip Patch Antenna for WiMAX Wireless Communications by Chemical Method

The rectangular microstrip patch antenna (RMPA) had designed and manufactured to operate in two working areas of the worldwide interoperability for microwave access (WiMAX) communication system. Flame retardant (FR-4) material had used for implementation, and the total antenna size was 57.22 × 1.6 mm3. The chemical method was used to implement the RMPA. The proposed antenna is capable of working at frequencies 2.51 GHz and 3.87 GHz experimentally. The results were -21.62 dB of return loss, and 50 MHz of bandwidth for the first frequency. Also, for second frequency was -20.01 dB of return loss, and 80 MHz of bandwidth.
