Analysis and design of rectangular microstrip patch antenna on different substrate materials in X-Band

Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2014 in the subject Engineering - Communication Technology grade: 10.0 course: Electronics and Communication Engineering language: English abstract: In this paper software based design and analysis has been carried out for a rectangular patch antenna using different substrate materials. A coaxial probe fed rectangular microstrip patch antenna operating at X-band (8 to 12 GHz) is analyzed on different substrate materials like Rogers RT/duroid 5880 Rogers RT/duroid 5870 Neltec NX9240 Arlon DiClad 522 and FR4_epoxy. The design is analyzed by Finite Element Method (FEM) based HFSS™ EM simulator software. Return loss VSWR plot smith chart and radiation pattern plots are observed and plotted for all antennas.
