The design of a printed rectangular monopole antenna has been created by YouTube channel ‘IT and

Engineering Planet’. Video kicks off with the design of the substrate. Substrate is a FR4 epoxy and
dimensions of the substrate are chosen as W =19 mm, Ls =31.7 mm and h=1.6 mm. Ground plane
is designed in such a way that the starting position of the ground plane on the Length axis is Ls /1.81
and ground plane length is Lg =14.25 mm. The designer then chose to design the feed line of the
edge feed for the radiating patch. The radiating patch has the dimensions L p=W p=9.5 mm.
Position of the patch is kept at L p / 2 , Ls−( L f + L p ) ,1.6 mm. Radiating patch and feed line unite. The
edge is created and is chosen to be a Lumped port. Next up, the designer has chosen to assign
boundaries. He first starts of by assigning boundaries to perfectly conductive elements such as the
patch, feed line and the ground plane.

Next, the designer designs the airbox. For that, he does simple calculation and results out that the
distance of the airbox must be 22.5mm in all directions from the antenna. The designer then makes
the air box and assigns the material ‘vacuum’ to it. The air box has been assigned a radiation
boundary. Designer has no issues with the design but one, i.e., which is then solved by creating an
analysis setup. The designed antenna must work on f c =6.77 GHz . Passes assigned is 10 so as to
assure a stable output and the frequency sweep type is a Linear Step with a range of 1-12GHZ in step
sizes of 0.1GHz. This is to ensure that there is enough range between the fundamental frequency
and the start and end frequency. The analysis completes successfully after which the user creates a
result report and a radiation far field setup. The S – Parameter plot shows us that the bandwidth
obtained is 6.1GHz for S11 value of -9.6dB. Gain obtained is 3.869dB.
