Modern wireless applications necessitate compact handheld devices capable of operating at wide range of frequencies with minimum power. A suitable choice and size of the antenna play a role in reducing the power consumption of the transceivers. Microstrip antenna is usually preferred for such transceivers operating at microwave frequencies because of low profile and easy installation. In this paper, a design of microstrip patch antenna using copper nano material fabricated with sputtering process is proposed and analyzed by its performance. The thickness of the microstrip antenna is reduced by 50 times compared to the antenna fabricated using conventional etching process. The performance of the antenna is evaluated using the metrics of Return Loss, VSWR, and Radiation Pattern. The proposed antenna achieves a return loss of −20 dB at 2.4GHz. Further, the return loss is less than −10 dB for the frequencies ranging from 5 to 17 GHz. The maximum gain of 10 dB is achieved at 15.5 GHz.

用于 X 波段和 C 波段应用的使用铜纳米辐射元件的多波段微带贴片天线

现代无线应用需要能够以最小功率在宽频率范围内运行的紧凑型手持设备。天线的合适选择和尺寸在降低收发器的功耗方面发挥作用。由于低剖面和易于安装，微带天线通常是此类在微波频率下工作的收发器的首选。在本文中，提出了一种使用溅射工艺制造的铜纳米材料的微带贴片天线的设计，并对其性能进行了分析。与使用传统蚀刻工艺制造的天线相比，微带天线的厚度减少了50倍。天线的性能使用回波损耗、VSWR 和辐射方向图等指标进行评估。建议的天线在 2.4GHz 下实现了 -20 dB 的回波损耗。此外，对于 5 至 17 GHz 的频率范围，回波损耗小于 -10 dB。在 15.5 GHz 时可实现 10 dB 的最大增益。
