Design of a Rectangular Microstrip Patch Antenna with Edge Feeding Technique for Marine Applications

Abstract

This proposed method serves purpose of designing a rectangular patch antenna of Micro-strip with 5.2 GHZ as frequency of resonance for marine applications. Design is performed in ANSYS High Frequency Structure Simulator (HFSS). Patch antenna of rectangular is created with FR4epoxy substrate. Reflection coefficient for this design is obtained in 5.2GHz frequency range. The excitation given to this patch antenna is Edge Feed with a fixed length and width. The performance parameters such as S-parameter, Gain, VSWR, directivity of the antenna is obtained and analyzed for the marine applications.
