hello all,
i am a B.E 3rd yr student who is stuck with a prof who doesn't know much however i hav to do design n simulate a microstrip patch antenna on Ie3d.I feel a little helpless and would really appreciate if somebody could answer the following Qs
1)Is Ie3d the correct software to design n simulate a microstrip patch antenna?
2)All I know are the basics of antennas so how n where do i start?
sure IE3D is good software. I have seen people used it in Patch antenna design.
Some tutorial on zeland.com are provided. go through them as suggested by jian.
Also On this forum search some tutorial on patch antenna in HFSS.
Though software is different you will get an idea.
**broken link removed**
Also see this tutorial for reference.
This will help a lot.
Best of luck
you can refer to Microwave engineering Book by POZAR, Second or third edition - you will get the complete knowledge of microstips. then start simulations.
you can simulate it using ADS, but 2D/2.5Dmomentum only or else use HFSS. Search the "HFSS Tutorial" in this forum you will get microstrip antennna
I used CST Microwave Studio for design and simulation Microstrip patch antenna.
Go and visit this site https://www.cst.com/Content/Products/MWS/Overview.aspx
you can get some tutorial for simulation of patch antenna also.
All these softwares require licenses, so use whichever available to you. Microstrip antenna is fairly simple to simulate so shouldn't be a problem. All the required information is within the forum.Best of luck.
