Design of 2.4Ghz Patch Antennae For Wlan Applications
Design of 2.4Ghz Patch Antennae For Wlan Applications
A simple micro strip patch antenna is designed for Wireless Local Area
Network (WLAN) applications in IEEE 802.11b/g/n are presented. WLAN
is most commonly used wireless distribution standard for short distance
network communication. This paper describes a high-gain; single band
micro strip antenna is printed on FR-4 substrate and has dimensions of
29.2 x 29.2 x 1.6mm3 with a ground plane. The proposed patch antenna
design covers 2.4GHz frequency range with the return loss of -39.008dB.
The simulation has been done through ADS 2014. And the designed
antenna deliberates excellent performance and a great solution for WLAN
applications.
ANTENNA DESIGN
The geometry of the proposed rectangular feed
patch antenna is shown in Fig. 1. The antenna
design consists of three elements such as ground
plane, substrate and patch design. The antenna
uses FR4 substrate with a dimension of 29.2 x 29.2
x 1.6 mm3, dielectric constant is 4.8 and a loss
tangent of 0.001. The antenna feed is given as
rectangular feed at the center of the patch.
Mathematically the antenna dimensions are
calculated.

CONCLUSION
WLAN is a promising technology for short distance communication. In this
presentation, a novel 2.4GHz patch antenna for WLAN application in 802.11b/g/n
has been demonstrated. Acceptable performance has been achieved in terms of
return loss, radiation pattern and bandwidth. In addition, the gain and directivity
shows that the antenna is perfectly matched for WLAN applications. This antenna
will be easily fabricated with low cost due to its size and substrate material. FR4 is
a cheapest material which provides optimum performance for antenna fabrication.
It is seen that the proposed antenna achieved good performance for WLAN
applications in simulation model. Future work will focuses on fabrication and
testing with performance comparison of simulation and fabrication results.
