Design equations of Rectangular Microstrip Patch Antenna

-
Following design equation can be used to calculate the width and length of rectangular microstrip patch antenna and simulation of 2.4 GHz inset-feed rectangular patch antenna can be found in follwing video. 





Microstrip antenna with inset-feed line

                         Part-1 Design step for the calculation of W and L

Step-1: To calcualte width 'W' use follwing formula



Step-2:  Calculate the effective dielectric constant using formula below. Here  'εr' is relative dielectric constant of the material. 'h' is height of the substrate and W is the width of patch calculated in first step.


Step-3:  Calculate ΔL using formula below.



Step-4:  Calculate length of the patch using formula below. v0  is speed of light in free space.



Part-2 Feedline calculation

Step-1:  Calculate the input impdedance of the patch using follwing formula. (Typically between 200 Ω to 250 Ω. You can assume 225 Ω for simplicity and proceed to step 2 and later on using simulation software the position can be optimized for the best return loss.
Where G1  and G2 are conductance of slot #1 and slot #2 of the patch antenna. + sign is used for the odd resonant voltage distribution beneath the patch and between the slot and - sign is used for even resonant voltage distribution.

Step-2:  Calculate y0 using formula below by assuming Rin(y=y0) as 50Ω and Rin(y=0) from the above calculation. L is the length of patch. The calculated value of y0 will be between 0 and L/2.


Step-3:  Finally you can caculate the width of 50Ω feedline using formula for the microstrip line.

    Madam, How did you considered the substrate length & width and size of radiation box? in the antenna design. The above equations are patch antenna design (matching with the simulated design)

How to design a reconfigurable antenna? Step-by-step process.

-
Determine the frequency range and bandwidth requirements for the antenna. Choose an appropriate antenna structure, such as a patch antenna, microstrip antenna, or planar inverted-F antenna (PIFA). Choose the reconfigurable component, such as PIN diodes, switches, or varactor diodes. Design the impedance matching network, which is essential for optimal performance of the antenna. Simulate the antenna using electromagnetic simulation software, such as CST Microwave Studio, Ansys HFSS, or Keysight ADS, to verify its performance. Fabricate the antenna and integrate the reconfigurable component. Test the antenna in an anechoic chamber to verify its performance and ensure that it meets the requirements. Repeat steps 5-7 as necessary to optimize the antenna's performance. Note: These are general steps for designing a reconfigurable antenna and may vary depending on the specific requirements and constraints of the application.

Image
Anopheles Mosquito: Also known as the sophisticated mosquito. The flight range is 3-5 km. Around 45 species of anopheles mosquitoes have been found in India but only a few of them have been incriminated as vectors or carriers of malaria. These are An. fluviatilis & An. minimum (foot-hill regions), An. sundaicus & An. stephensi (coastal regions) and An culicifacies & An. philippinensis (planes). 1. Eggs: Important points: Eggs laid on the surface of the clean water. 100-250 at a time. This stage lasts for 1-2 days. Laid singly, boat-shaped & possess lateral floats. 2. Larva: Important points: The larva is a free-swimming creature. Passes through 4 stages called ' instars ' with moulting between each stage. Floats horizontally in water/ rests parallel to the water surface. No siphon tube at the tip of its abdomen.  Palmate hairs present on abdominal segments. 3. Pupa: Important points: The pupa is comma-shaped in appearance, with a large rounded cephalothorax and...

Bajaj Set to Launch CNG Motorcycle by June 2024

-
The wait for India's first CNG motorcycle is finally coming to an end, with Bajaj Auto gearing up for its launch. According to recent reports, the company could unveil the motorcycle as early as June this year. Earlier speculations suggested a launch by 2025, but now it seems Bajaj is expediting the process. While details about the motorcycle's name remain scarce, the company aims to cater to various segments ranging from 100cc to 160cc. Rakesh Sharma, Executive Director of Bajaj Auto, highlighted the efficiency of CNG over diesel in terms of cleaner emissions. While CNG produces negligible particulate matter emissions compared to diesel, it's not a zero-emission fuel. Hence, Bajaj is expanding its portfolio to include models like LPG, compressed natural gas (CNG), and ethanol-blended fuel in the coming years. The forthcoming CNG motorcycle, possibly codenamed "Brujar E101," is in its final stages of development. Prototypes have been tested, with an estimated mile...
