Finding Optimal Feed Location of a Microstrip Patch Antenna using HFSS

Abstract

Microstrip patch antennas represent one family of compact antennas that offer a conformal nature and the capability of ready integration with communication system's printed circuitry. In this paper, a microst rip antenna has been designed at 1.9GHz using ANSOFT-HFSS. By varying the feed point, good value of return loss is obtained and optimum position of feed point and the bandwidth are also determined.
