| Summary: | Recently, the need of high data rate communication, enormously fast speed and
shorter distance, the engineers and scientists had have decided to work in the larger
scale of frequency resulted in the usage of ultra wide band (UWB) frequency which
ranged from 3.1 GHz to 10.6 GHz. The patch antennas offer a potential solution for
narrowband and with some modifications and researches done before, it does
applicable for the ultra-wide band applications. It cost, light weight, easy to feed and
their attractive radiation characteristics. In this project, the performance of the UWB
antenna characteristics using Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) and AgHT were investigated.
Parametric studies were performed to quantify the effect of the ITO and AgHT
characteristics as well as the PET (plastic polymer) coating. All those parametric
studies are conducted and simulated using CST Microwave Studio. The reflection
coefficient, radiation pattern, VSWR and gain values were compared and contrast
between the two antennas. It can be concluded that the AgHT coated antenna works
better than ITO in terms of the gain and radiation pattern while work as good as
ITO in reflection coefficient and VSWR |
