Abstract

This study describes design and simulation of a loop antenna. A square loop antenna is designed for 920 MHz. The loop antenna is then modelled and simulated using 4NEC2 electromagnetic (EM) modeling software. 4NEC2 is a completely free numerical electromagnetic modeling code. It is based on method of moments technique to solve electromagnetic boundary value problem. The 4NEC2 simulation of the loop antenna design predicted antenna resonant frequency to be 920 MHz, Return Loss bandwidth of 130 MHz and input impedance of 50.14 -j0.30 Ohm. The antenna radiation pattern is then simulated at 920 MHz. The Return Loss, VSWR, Input Impedance and Radiation Pattern of the antenna predicated by 4NEC2 simulation are studied for the possible development of copper or aluminium tube based loop antenna.
