Mushroom Shaped Microstrip Patch Antenna Array For Better Gain

Author : Shubhi Gupta 1

Date of Publication :9th June 2022

Abstract: This paper presents a mushroom shaped antenna array of rectangular topology which is designed to operate in Ku band. The antenna has been designed with 7 patches and rest of the patch potion is subtracted to obtain the required design. The operating frequency of the antenna array is 14.5 GHz. The designed patch antenna array is simulated on Rogers RT/duroid5880 substrate with dielectric constant of 2.2.The following paper shows steps for designing patch antenna array in Ku band and simulating the same.. The design is analysed by HFSS 15.0 by which s parameter, 3D polar plot, directivity, VSWR and gain of the antenna are computed. The results which are simulated by software show that the designed antenna provides better outputs in terms of gain, s parameter, and VSWR.
