Abstract

This research work presents design, simulation and comparison of microstrip patch antenna designed using different feed techniques. The Microstrip feed techniques are microstrip line feed, inset feed, coaxial feed, aperture coupled feed and proximity coupled feed. We are chosen to compare co-axial feed and microstrip line feed due to the advantage that it can be easily fabricated and simplicity in modelling as well as impedance matching. The microstrip patch antenna is designed and simulated using high frequency simulation software FEKO and it is designed to operate in X-band frequency range (8GHz-12GHz). These antennas are designed using taconic dielectric substrate with the permittivity ?r=2.2. In this analysis, we have compared the antenna parameters such as gain, impedance, reflection coefficient, VSWR and further the performance of these two feed techniques discussed. The antenna has been designed for the range 9-11 GHz; hence this antenna is highly suitable for X-band applications such as satellite communication, radar, medical applications, and other wireless systems.
