Description
Summary:The main purpose of this project is to design a microstrip antenna that operates with the operating or resonant frequency at approximately 12.60GHz, in the KU-Band frequency range (10.7GHz-14.5GHz). The antenna should also show a circular polarization with the voltage to standing wave ratio (VSWR) of less than 2 at the operating frequency. The response that we take into account is the return loss Sn and the VSWR. For the simulation process, we used HP EESof Libra and Genesys Eagleware Computer Aided Design (CAD) simulator to determine the overall response of the designed antenna. The microstrip antenna is fabricated on RT/duriod* 5870 microstrip substrate. The dielectric constant (sr) is 2.33 and the substrate thickness (h) is 0.5mm.
