Design and Analysis of Microstrip Patch Antenna for X Band for 8 Ghz for Different Substrate Material FR4, Rogers 5880 and Arlon 255

Abstract

Microstrip Patch antenna is emerging in the field of wireless communication and its application in the field of radar communication, space applications, and military applications because of low weight, simple to built and low cost. Due to the advanced technology in electronics world, the size miniaturization and performance enhancement are key requirements for communication systems. The proposed antenna is of 8 GHz for different materials FR4, Rogers 5880 and Arlon255.The substrate material is with specifications, FR4 dielectric constant is 4.3 and loss tangent is 0.002, rogers whose approximately permittivity is 2.2 and loss tangent is 0.0009 and arlon255 dielectric constant is 2.55 and loss tangent is 0.00913 are considered. The dimensions are measured HFSS software is used for the design of software. Different parameters of MPAs are measured 3D gain, radiation pattern, VSWR, return loss, gain, radiation efficiency, half power beam width, bandwidth. The best performance in terms of gain revealed by criteria analysis is of arlon255. The microstrip line edge feeding method is used in this antenna for feeding patch.
