Abstract— A design of a microstrip rectangular patch antenna is presented in this paper. The proposed antenna was simulated using Computer Simulation Technology (CST) CAD Package and design on a microstrip with relative permittivity of 4.6, and substrate and copper thickness of 0.5 mm and 0.035 mm respectively with 4.5 GHz of frequency.

Keywords— CST Microwave Studio, circular array antenna, frequency, microstrip, permittivity, substrate thicknesses, copper thickness, RT/ Duroid 5880 result

INTRODUCTION

Microstip antenna which is also known as the printed antenna is very practical in these days. The characteristics of this antenna are low profile, light weight, low volume and broad bandwidth. An antenna should be low-profile, comfortable and suitable to planar and nonplanar surfaces, simple and inexpensive to manufacture, mechanically robust when mounted on rigid surfaces. When the particular patch shape and mode are selected they are very versatile in terms of resonant frequency, polarization, pattern and impedance. Microstrip single antenna has several advantages and also has several disadvantages such as low gain, narrow bandwidth with low frequency. So, these disadvantages can be overcome by constructing many patch antennas in array configuration. The design used inset feeding method based on quarter wave impedance matching technique. However it does not mention the radiation efficiency, directivity, VSWR and the fabricated size. The design of single and patch array microstrip antennas with microtrip line as feeding method is presented. Quarter-wave transformer is used to match the feeding line to the antennas. The center frequency is determined to operate at 4.5GHz. The patch array antenna was then fabricated on the substrate type RT/Duroid 5880 with dielectric constant of 2.22, substrate

    The Development of Radar

    Radar was developed was developed between 1935–1940 independently in several countries as a military instrument for detecting aircraft and ships. One of the earliest practical radar systems was created from 1934 to 1935 by Robert Watson-Watt. Although the technology evolved rapidly during World War II, the radar improved immensely following the war, the principal advances being higher power outputs, greater receiver sensitivity, and improved timing and signal-processing circuits. In 1946 radar beams from the earth were reflected back from the moon. Radar contact was established with Venus in 1958 and with the sun in 1959, thereby opening a new field of astronomy called radar astronomy…

    dominant waveguide structure largely because high-quality components could be designed using it. One of the main issues was its narrow bandwidth due to the cut-off frequency characteristic. Later, researchers try to find components that could provide greater bandwidth and possible miniaturization, and therefore they examined other waveguide types. Ridge Waveguide offered a step in that direction, having one or more longitudinal internal ridges that serve primarily to increase transmission bandwidth by lowering the cut-off frequency. Coaxial Line was very suitable, since it possessed a dominant mode with zero cut-off frequency, providing two important characteristics: very wide bandwidth, and the capability of miniaturization. The lack of a longitudinal component of field, made it more difficult to create components using it, although various novel suggestions were put forth. In addition, those components would be expensive to fabricate. In an attempt to overcome these fabrication difficulties, the center conductor of the coaxial line was flattened into a strip and the outer conductor was changed into a rectangular box, and then fitted with connectors for use with regular coaxial line. At about the same time, Robert M. Barrett when working for the Air Force Cambridge Research Center in 1950s took a much bolder step. He removed the side walls altogether, and extended the top and bottom walls sideways. The result was called strip transmission line, or Stripline. Like coaxial cable, Stripline it is non-dispersive, and has no cut-off frequency. Different methods were used to support the center strip, but in all cases the region between the two outer plates was filled with only one single medium, either dielectric material or air. A modification that emerged almost in the same time involved…

    Wireless power transmission is the transmission of electrical energy from a power source to an electrical load without man-made conductors. Wireless transmission is useful in cases where interconnecting wires are inconvenient, hazardous, or impossible. So a study was made on the investigation of wireless power transmission by near-field coupling from the view point of the antennas. Mainly the antennas are of two types - dipole and loop antennas – and were used as the transmitting antenna and the receiving antenna for electrical near-field coupling and for magnetic near-field coupling, respectively. The relationships among the power-transmission efficiency and the antennas ' geometries, the antennas ' electrical sizes, the impedance matching of the antennas, and the ohmic losses in the antennas and the impedance-matching circuits were clarified. This technology has been widely applied, from the wireless charging of electronic devices to huge projects, such as the solar-power satellite system. The most important challenge is to maintain higher power-transmission efficiency over longer transmission distances which was strictly defined as the ratio of the received power at the receiving antenna and the input power at the transmitting antenna. Several observations were obtained, demonstrating the influence on the power-transmission efficiency of the impedance matching and ohmic losses in the wireless power-transmission system associated with near-field coupling. A wireless power-transmission system was numerically analysed by using canonical methods, including a dipole system and a loop system, the relationships among the power-transmission efficiency and the antenna geometries, distance between antennas, sizes and ohmic losses in the antennas and matching circuits. These results and observations can provide theoretical insight into…

    In wireless communication using omnidirectional antennas communication is made in directions not pointing towards the recipient resulting in energy waste, and producing traffic collisions and reducing the battery life. One way of reducing this problem is to use of smart antenna that uses selectable radiation patterns depending on the situations. These antennas provide the ability to sense the direction of incoming signals. Smart antennas are the antenna arrays with smart signal processing algorithms used to identify spatial signal signature such as the Direction of arrival (DOA) and used to calculate the beam forming vectors, to tract and locate the antenna beam on the mobile/target. Smart has the main function of DOA estimation.…
