This tool calculates the dimensions of the microstrip patch antenna given the desired operating frequency.
A Microstrip Patch Antenna Calculator helps design antennas commonly used in wireless communication due to their low profile, ease of fabrication, and compatibility with printed circuit technology. The calculator determines the key dimensions of the antenna, such as the length, width, and feed position, based on the operating frequency, substrate properties, and desired performance.
Microstrip Patch Antenna Design Overview
Microstrip patch antennas consist of a rectangular patch on a dielectric substrate backed by a ground plane. Key parameters include:
- Frequency of Operation (fr): The resonant frequency of the antenna.
- Dielectric Constant of the Substrate (εr): The relative permittivity of the substrate material.
- Height of the Substrate (h): The thickness of the substrate.
