Design and Analysis of Conformal Array Antenna

Abstract

Filters with a low profile are in great demand. Traditionally, band pass filters are distributed. Because to its simplicity, adaptability, and low cost, the Substrate Integrated Waveguide (SIW) is a strong contender for mm-wave technology. The majority of the benefits of traditional metallic waveguide, including full shielding, low loss, high quality factor, and high power handling capacity, are also maintained by this technology. At millimeter wave frequencies about 60 GHz, SIW has drawn a lot of interest. The design of a conformal array antenna based on a substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) is recommended in this paper. The recommended antenna is used specifically in Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN) for short range communication and functions as a flexible antenna with minimal thickness. A conformal design has a 2*9 and 2*4 array with 26 slot antennas that operate at frequencies between 1 and 6 GHz. Lower Bending Loss, utilised in either on-body or off-body applications, Flexible communication, and improved design efficiency are the project’s key benefits. Our research offers several feeding methods to enhance performance. The performance of the recommended design has been shown together with the design rule. The Advanced Design System (ADS) 2020 software is used to analyse the simulation findings, including the resonant frequency, return loss and radiation patterns of the proposed antenna.
