design and analysis using pcb antenna designer -凯发k8网页登录

define pcb antenna layers: define the metal patch, substrate, and ground plane layers for the linear array of 1-by-2 h-notch patch pcb antenna. for more information, see .

design h-notch patch unit element: design the h-notch patch unit element by subtracting the top and bottom notches from the substrate. add a feed to the h-notch patch unit element and validate the board shape, layers, feed, via, and load. for more information, see .

analyze h-notch patch unit element: perform vector frequency analysis on the h-notch patch unit element to calculate the impedance and the s-parameters over its frequency range of operation. perform scalar frequency analysis on the h-notch patch unit element to calculate its current distribution, 3-d pattern, and azimuth and elevation patterns. for more information, see .

create, analyze, and export 1-by-2 linear array of h-notch patch: create a 1-by-2 linear array with the h-notch patch as unit element. add the feed and validate the design before analysis. analyze the design to confirm that it meets the design goals and export the design to gerber files for the fabrication of the pcb patch antenna. for more information, see .

design, analyze, and optimize h-notch patch using design variables: design the same h-notch patch using variables for the properties of the board, metal layers, and patch. create these variables using the design variables tab. analyze the design to see that the results match the pervious patch. optimize the design for maximum gain. for more information see, .
