Abstract
Objectives: To present an overview on interfacing of MATLAB and commercial electromagnetic software packages (such as CST microwave studio). Methods/Statistical Analysis: This type of interfacing requires a scripting language interface termed as VBA script. An example for the design of an inset microstrip patch antenna is demonstrated in this paper using VBA. The controlling of CST microwave studio is done using MATLAB which calls microstrip patch antenna design along with its performance parameters such as S11 parameter, VSWR, power requirement, radiation pattern, return losses etc. Findings: The interface created between CST and MATLAB worked well and antenna parameters can be called in MATLAB to operate on them. Improvements: Further optimization algorithm can be performed on this in order to get optimized real time performance of antenna. Keywords: CST Microwave Studio (MWS), MATLAB, Microstrip Patch Antenna, PSO, VBA
Highlights
MATLAB (Matrix laboratory) is a ubiquitous tool employed to allow matrix manipulations, implementation of algorithms, signal processing, creation of user interfaces and graphics software package[1]
In today’s world of wireless communication technology, the desire for the compact size[3], planner structure, low profile, low weight and easy fabrications are being fulfilled by the microstrip patch antenna[4]
In order to do interfacing between MATLAB and CST, the concept of client and server comes into picture
Summary
MATLAB (Matrix laboratory) is a ubiquitous tool employed to allow matrix manipulations, implementation of algorithms, signal processing, creation of user interfaces and graphics software package[1] It is a general purpose application comprises powerful analysis tool for design, analysis and control which facilitates esoteric applications like antenna design, are done using special commercial electromagnetic software. This type of antenna can be integrated with passive and active components[5]. It is more versatile rather than conventional antennas which do not offers diversity function in operating frequency, radiation pattern and polarization to mobile communication in a single antenna[4]. The last section concludes the paper along with its future scopes
