Design and Performance Analysis of Microstrip Array Antennas with Optimum Parameters for X-band Applications

Abstract

Abstract-This paper demonstrates simple, low cost and high gain microstrip array antennas with suitable feeding techniques and dielectric substrate for applications in GHz frequency range. The optimum design parameters of the antenna are selected to achieve the compact dimensions as well as the best possible characteristics such as high radiation efficiency, high gain, etc. In this paper different microstrip array antennas such as series feed, corporate feed and corporate-series feed are designed, simulated, analyzed and compared regarding to the antenna performances. The designed antennas are 4x1, 4x1, and 4x2 arrays. The optimum feeding system is decided based on the various antenna parameters that are simulated. The simulation has been performed by using SO ET version V12.56 simulator which is a commercially available antenna simulator. The designed antennas provide return losses in the range of -4.21dB to -25.456dB at frequencies around 10GHz by using Taconic TLY-5 dielectric substrate with permittivity, εr= 2.2 and height, h =1.588 mm. The gain of these simulated antennas is found about 15dB and side lobe label is maintained lower than main lobe. Since, the resonance frequency of these antennas is around 10GHz, these antennas are suitable for X-band applications such as satellite communication, radar, medical applications, and other wireless systems.

High-Isolation X-Band Marine Radar Antenna Design

“…Because the detailed mathematical procedures used for deriving the scattering matrix of the T-junction network were described in [18], only the result is provided to maintain the conciseness of this paper. The three-port scattering matrix is given by (4) where matrixes , , , , and are given below by (5) (6) 9. Simulated amplitude characteristic of the series-fed section shown in Fig.…”

Metamaterials‐Based Photoelectric Conversion: From Microwave to Optical Range

“…[28,29] The electrically small antennas can miniaturize the antenna size in microwave range, but often bring complexity to the design and cause reduced gain and working bandwidth. [27,30] Moreover, with the rapid development of IR and terahertz (THz) technology, the photoelectric devices with good performance in low-photonenergy range from THz (0.1-10 THz) to far-IR become highly desired, while there is still lack of fast and high-sensitive photoelectric devices operating in this spectral region. For instance, HgCdTe can improve the photodetection sensitivity in far-IR range, but is limited by the cryogenic operation.…”

Multiple-input multiple-output antenna for dual-band applications with a novel radiating patch and enhanced feeding network

“…Telecommunication systems are now demanding the items for various subsystems and standards with requirements such as dualband operation, small size and reasonable peak gain (Rezvani et al, 2019;Beigi et al, 2018;Sedghi, 2018;Ishtaique et al, 2011). Bluetooth and Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) are primarily important frequency bands for data transmission.…”
