3518c04180 The SMA's center post is a bit short and needs to be longer in order to reach the driven element when it is added in a future step. Asif Mehmood May 20, 2011 at 2:17 am Hi Andrew how are you? I want to know the complete dimensions of this wifi antenna because i want to implement it. It is the fringing fields that are responsible for the radiation. Figure 3. Aug 15, 2010, 05:56 PM #7 t-turley t-turley Registered User Joined Mar 2001 2,626 Posts Still learning here. Now do I have your attention? . However, these omni antennas are the system's achille's heel when they are used on the ground based receiver. Rectangular patch antennas are notoriously narrowband; the bandwidth of rectangular microstrip antennas are typically 3%. The above equation says that the microstrip antenna should have a length equal to one half of a wavelength within the dielectric (substrate) medium. Now flatten and debur all the edges.
A much more efficient Patch can be made if you use air (or vacuum) as the dielectric. You'll have to play with the distance from the ground plane to get the best performance but I have always found 1/8th of a wavelength to be a good starting point. This paragraph is critical to understanding the patch antenna. The board is now ready for etching. You can pick any value in between those two widths and the antenna will work well. There is also a calculator that lets you plug in the frequency and can diameter and gives you all the vital statistics needed. Thank you very much, if I have something problem again, maybe I will ask you again.
