Design and Simulation of Microstrip Phase Array Antenna using ADS

Sammanfattning: The aim of this project is to design a microstrip phase array antenna in ADS (Advance Design System) Momentum. The resonant frequency of which is 10 GHz. Two circular patches with a radius of 5.83 mm each are used in designing the array antenna. RT-DURROID 5880 is used as a substrate for this microstrip patch array design. These circular patches are excited using coaxial probe feed and transmission lines of particular lengths and widths. These transmission lines perfectly match the impedance of the circular patches. Various parameters, for example the S-parameters, two dimensional and three dimensional radiation patterns, excitation models, gain, directivity and efficiency of the designed antenna are obtained from ADS Momentum.
