Analysis Of An Air-Spaced Patch Antenna Near 1800 Mhz, Hermine Nathalie Akouemo Kengmo Kenfack
Master's Theses (2009 -)
Microstrip antennas are a type of printed antenna which consists of a patch on top of a grounded substrate. A major limitation for the performance of the patch antenna is the dielectric substrate. The idea of using air as dielectric was therefore considered to overcome that limitation because air has the lowest permittivity and no loss. The goal of this work is to build an air-spaced patch antenna, with the minimum resonant frequency at 1800 MHz and with a return loss of at least 10 dB.
This work is novel because the air-spaced patch antenna has not been extensively studied. …
