Design of Microstrip Patch Antenna and Feed Point Location using IE3D Simulator
Abstract
Communication between humans was first by sound through voice. With the desire for slightly more distance communication came devices such as drums then visual methods such as signal flags and smoke signals were used. These optical communication devices of course utilized the light portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. It has been only very recent in human history that the electromagnetic spectrum outside the visible region has been employed for communication through the use of radio. One of humankind’s greatest natural resources is the electromagnetic spectrum and the antenna has been instrumental in harnessing this resource.
This paper provides a detailed study of how to design and fabricate a probe-fed Microstrip Patch Antenna and feed point location using IE3D software and study the effect of antenna dimensions Length (L), and substrate parameters relative Dielectric constant (εr), substrate thickness (t), Bandwidth and Beam-width.
