2.Progress of Communication system

 AIM & OBJECTIVES
• To study Micro-strip Patch Antenna.

• To design and implement this antenna using the software CST Studio.
 How does an antenna work ?
• Antenna is one type of transducer that converts the electrical energy
into the electro-magnetic energy in form of electromagnetic waves.
• Antennas are required by any radio receiver or transmitter to couple its
electrical connection to the electromagnetic field.
 Antenna characteristics
• Power gain
• Directivity
• Antenna radiation patterns
• Polarization
• Bandwidth
• Input Impedence
 Overview of Micro-Strip Antenna
• Developed after revolution in Electronic Circuit Miniaturization &
LSI in 1970.
• Used on rockets & missiles previously.
• Designer’s choice.
 What is Micro-strip Patch Antenna?
• A Micro-strip patch antenna consists of a radiating patch on one side
of a dielectric substrate which has a ground plane on the other side.
• Invented by Bob Munson in 1972 (but earlier work by Dechamps goes
back to1953).
 Different Parameters of Micro-strip Antenna

L = Length of the Microstrip

Patch Element
W = Width of the Microstrip
Patch Element
t = Thickness of Patch
h = Height of the Dielectric
Substrate.
 Basic Principles of Operation
• The patch acts approximately as a resonant cavity (short circuit walls
on top and bottom, open-circuit walls on the sides). In a cavity, only
certain modes are allowed to exist, at different resonant frequencies.
• If the antenna is excited at a resonant frequency, a strong field is set
up inside the cavity, and a strong current on the (bottom) surface of the
patch. This produces significant radiation (a good antenna).
Different Shapes of Micro-strip Patch
Elements
 Feed Techniques
• Micro-strip antenna can be feed by variety of methods. This methods
can be classified into two categories-contacting and non-contacting.
• The foremost popular feed techniques used are,
Micro-strip line
Co-axial probe
Aperture coupling
Proximity coupling

 Advantages of Micro-strip Patch
Antenna
• Light weight and low volume.
• Low profile planar configuration which can be easily made conformal
to host surface.
• Low fabrication cost, hence can be manufactured in large quantities.
• Supports both, linear as well as circular polarization.
• Can be easily integrated with microwave integrated circuits (MICs).
• Capable of dual and triple frequency operations.
• Mechanically robust when mounted on rigid surfaces.
 Disadvantages
• Narrow bandwidth
• Low efficiency
• Low Gain
• Extraneous radiation from feeds and junctions
• Poor end fire radiator except tapered slot antennas
• Low power handling capacity.
• Surface wave excitation.
