Aim – Designing an Microstrip Patch Antenna using CST studio having dielectric constant of 4.3 and
operating at the frequency of 2.4 GHz

Theory:-

Microstrip antennas are among the most widely used type of antennas in the microwave frequency range and
they are often used in the milli-meter wave frequency range as well. The micro strip antenna is generally a
single-layer design and consists of a radia ting metallic patch or an array of patches situated on one side of a
thin, non-conducting, substrate panel with a metallic ground plane situated on the other side of the panel.
There are numerous substrates that can be used for the design of microstrip patch antennas and their
dielectric constants are usually in the range of 2.2 ≤εr≤ 12. Those desirable for antenna performance are
thick substrates whose dielectric constant are in the lower end of the range due to better efficiency, larger
bandwidth, and loosely bound fields for radiation into space but at the expense of larger element size. It is a
popular printed resonant antenna for narrow-band microwave wireless links that require semi hemispherical
coverage. Due to its planar configuration and ease of integration with microstrip technology, the microstrip
patch antenna has been heavily studied and is often used as elements for an array. A simple microstrip
antenna with a dielectric substrate being backed by a conducting ground plate with printed patches or strips
over it is shown below:

‘L’ in the figure defines the length of the patch or the


strip where as ‘w’ represents the width of the patch.
’H’ is used to define the thickness of the dielectric
substrate and ‘εr‘ represents the dielectric constant
of the substrate. The patch over the dielectric
substrate is usually considered to be very thin
(t<<λo where λo is free space wavelength) and is
placed a small fraction of a wavelength (h<<λo
usually 0.003 λo ≤h ≤ 0.05 λo) above the ground
plane.

Computer Simulation Technology (CST) microwave


studio is used as the software environment to design
and compare the performance of the antennas.
Based on the results and analysis, it is noted that the rectangular patch antenna shows higher return loss than
the return loss of circular patch antenna. In addition, rectangular patch antenna has improved gain value than
that of the circular patch. However, circular patch antenna offers higher bandwidth as compared with the
rectangular patch. The radiation efficiency of both rectangular and circular shaped microstrip fed patch
antennas is nearly the same.
