linear dipole antenna elements. (b) Patch-array antenna.
Patch-Array Antenna
Determine substrate for use in the patch design (you can find some possible substrates with
their dielectric constants at http://www.rogerscorp.com/ under Printed Circuit Materials).
Choose a thickness that available for that substrate (make sure to convert it to mm).
Determine rectangular patch element geometry based on dielectric constant of the substrate
in terms of its width, length, and feed position (assuming 50 ohm line)
Use far-field approximation formula to calculate the element pattern (Hint: the formula in
equation 11-5 of the 3rd edition or equation 5-73a of the 2nd edition corresponds to the
coordinate system of Fig. 1(b), where x-axis is along the length L of the patch antenna)
Determine the element spacing and number of elements for a square array configuration with
equal distances between elements in the x and y directions, i.e. =
- A minimum of ~0.2 (free space ) clearance is needed between the edges of two adjacent
patch elements.
Determine the element phase and amplitudes for meeting the required directivity.
Plot the final array radiation pattern including the array and element factor.
Determine the element spacing and number of elements for a square array configuration with
equal distances between elements in the x and y directions, i.e. =
- A minimum of ~0.2 (free space wavelength) clearance is needed between the edges of two
adjacent patch elements.
Determine the element phase and amplitudes for meeting the required directivity.
Plot the radiation patterns of the CP element. With the CP element patterns known, plot the
radiation pattern of the array by using the array factor.
Compute the directivity numerically to demonstrate that this antenna meets the requirements.
