38GHz High Bandwidth and Low Return Loss Microstrip Patch Antenna Design

Abstract

This thesis focuses on improving the effectiveness and appearance of a small antenna used in modern wireless communication networks operating at 38GHz. The antenna is designed to address the need for high-speed data transmission in Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and other wireless technologies. By addressing issues related to size, bandwidth, and signal strength, the proposed antenna aims to optimize performance for small and lightweight devices. The research project begins with a thorough analysis of existing studies, examining different materials, feeding methods, and antenna designs. Advanced tools are used to simulate and analyze the antenna's design and important characteristics like radiation pattern, bandwidth, and signal loss. The study investigates how various design elements, such as antenna size, material properties, and feeding techniques, affect overall performance. Additionally, practical considerations like cost-effective materials and production methods are explored to achieve an affordable and feasible design. The suggested antenna's performance is then confirmed through extensive testing, comparing the results with simulated data to ensure accuracy. The findings of this study provide valuable information on the best design parameters for improved performance in the 38GHz frequency range, advancing the technology of small antennas. The suggested antenna has potential applications in Internet of Things (IoT) devices, wireless communication systems, and other emerging technologies that require reliable high-frequency connections. This thesis serves as a useful resource for researchers, engineers, and professionals involved in antenna design and wireless communication.
