Antenna Characteristics remain the same in the Tx and Rx Mode 1. Radiation Pattern In which directions it can transmit energy or from which directions it can receive energy Cochin University of Science and Technology, INDIA
2. Gain how effectively the antenna can concentrate energy in a desired direction 3. Polarisation the orientation of electric field in the em wave 4. Bandwidth Frequency band over which the characteristics are within the specified range Cochin University of Science and Technology, INDIA
antenna Return loss(dB) Dummy load Frequency(GHz) 2 1 Dummy load is perfectly matched, but it is not radiating ! Cochin University of Science and Technology, INDIA
Patch Substrate Ground Plane Side view Top view Microstrip Antenna Antenna that can be integrated to the circuit Cochin University of Science and Technology, INDIA
Attractive Features It is conformal Reduces aerodynamic problems in moving vehicles Smaller in size Suitable for compact systems Inexpensive in mass production Cochin University of Science and Technology, INDIA
Geometry of the Patch determines the Antenna Characteristics New Design More compact than currently available Microstrip Antennas Operates at two frequency bands Two bands are orthogonally polarised Antenna can be energised independently using two feeding ports without any interference between the two bands Cochin University of Science and Technology, INDIA
