Di-Patch Antenna Array Comparison

Abstract

An omnidirectional antenna has a non-directional pattern; however, for some applications, it is necessary to focus on a specific direction. An antenna can focus its radiation to a particular direction in space is characterized by directivity. This project aims to design, simulate, analyse and compare between Dipole and Patch antennas array (Di-Patch) for high-speed wireless communication systems. The antenna is a crucial component which transmits and receives radio signals. Two common types of antennas usually used are proposed in this paper. The performance is compared between the dipole antenna array and the patch antenna array taking into account the radiation pattern, directivity and radiation angles for a typical at 2.4 GHz.
