Uji DESAIN DAN SIMULASI ANTENA MIKROSTRIP PATCH PERSEGI DENGAN METODE PENGUMPANAN INSET-FED UNTUK APLIKASI S-BAND

Abstract

This research is to find out that the microstrip antenna is one of the most widely applied antennas for various radio applications because of its low profile and high performance. This paper discusses design and simulation of the rectangular patch microstrip antenna (RPMA) for S-band radio by using inset feeding. Initially, theoretical calculation was performed, followed by performance evaluation by using AWR simulator. Inset deep iterations were conducted through repeated simulation adjustment to obtain optimal design. Based on the concluded simulation adjustment, the minimum achieved VSWR is 1.056 to get bandwidth of 104.5 MHz (3.1636 3.2681 GHz). The minimum return loss that can be achieved is -31.33 dB with gain of 5.777 dB.
