Comparative Analysis and Simulation of Hexagonal Shape Microstrip Patch Antenna

Shruti M. Desai, Sangam Borkar

Abstract: In this review paper, we have designed a Microstrip Patch Antenna in the shape of a hexagon which is intended to operate at afrequency of 2.45 GHz which is the desired frequency in the S-Band applications.. A comparative analysis is done using two substrate materials and both the designs are simulated. The substrate materials used in the designing process are Glass Epoxy (FR4), Bakelite and Rogers /RT-Duroid 5880 respectively. In addition to that, the use of a parasitic element is made. The main objective behind introducing this parasitic element was to achieve a wider bandwidth which will ultimately lead to an improvement in the antenna?s overall performance. The eventual results obtained in the form of total antenna gain, total directivity, radiation pattern and S-parameters which are observed and compared.
