Abstract

The demand of miniature electronic systems has been increasing for several decades. The physical size of systems is reduced due to advancements in integrated circuits. With reduction in size of electronic systems, there is also an increasing demand of small and low cost antennas. Patch antennas are one of the most attractive antennas for integrated RF systems due to their compatibility with microwave integrated circuits. In this paper, the effects of substrate dielectric constant and (...)

Highlights

Communication system using electromagnetic waves and especially microwaves became very efficient in many applications such as short range transmission of signals, medical applications, mobiles and laptops where there is a requirement for an antenna which consumes very less space and can be mounted in the equipment and still have efficient directive radiation pattern
In this paper a simple design by simulation of micro strip patch antenna for microwave applications is proposed by investigating the effects of substrate material nature and antenna size miniaturization on the return loss characteristics of the antenna
By using simple relations of the wave concept iterative procedure (WCIP) method without leading to a heavy computing time, we have investigated performances of micro strip patch antenna based on different substrate materials and the effect of miniaturization on these performances

Summary

Introduction

Communication system using electromagnetic waves and especially microwaves became very efficient in many applications such as short range transmission of signals, medical applications, mobiles and laptops where there is a requirement for an antenna which consumes very less space and can be mounted in the equipment and still have efficient directive radiation pattern. Keywords : Patch antenna ;substrate materials; miniaturization; WCIP method. In this paper a simple design by simulation of micro strip patch antenna for microwave applications is proposed by investigating the effects of substrate material nature and antenna size miniaturization on the return loss characteristics of the antenna.
