Design of rectangular microstrip patch antenna

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to design a microstrip rectangular antenna in Advance Design System Momentum (ADS). The resonant frequency of antenna is 4.1GHz. The reflection coefficient is less than -10dB for a frequency range of 3.1GHz to 5.1 GHz. The proposed rectangular patch antenna has been devise using Glass Epoxy substrate (FR4) with dielectric constant (εr = 4.4), loss tangent (tan δ) equal to 0.02. This rectangular patch is excited using transmission lines of particular length and width. Various parameters, for example the gain, S parameters, directivity and efficiency of the designed rectangular antenna are obtained from ADS Momentum.
