Abstract

Microstrip antenna with circular polarization can be applied for many applications. Some microstrip antenna with square, circular, triangular, and hexagonal shape has been designed to get return loss, axial ratio, and radiation performance. We compare twelve microstrip antenna by maintaining its substrate dimension, feeding shape, and outer patch dimension. Even though antenna has a circular patch, it doesn’t always produce circular polarization. From the simulation, we found that with add some structure, the antenna can reach multiband resonance from 1 to 6 GHz. The Circular patch antenna reached seven numbers of the multiband resonance frequency. The hexagonal patch antenna reaches the highest directivity as 9.53 dBi. The circular polarization is achieved for a square and Hexagonal patch shape with axial ratio value is 1.96 dB at 4 GHz and  1.26 dB at 4.1 GHz sequentially at phi 900 and theta 900.

Abstract

This paper aims to describe the performance of the palm tree Coplanar Vivaldi Antenna Array (CVA) that was simulated from 0.25-6.25 GHz in terms of return loss and radiation pattern. Palm Tree Coplanar Vivaldi Antenna is available in four different configurations: single-element, two-element array, four-element array, and an eight-element array. We create a feeding network and radiator patch for two, four, and eight-array antennas. The simulation results demonstrate that the single-element antenna has the best return loss performance and can cover all frequency work from 0.25-6.25 GHz. In contrast, the antenna array can only cover multiband frequency. At 3 GHz, a single-element antenna has a directivity of 8.77 dBi, a sidelobe level of -2.2 dB, and a beamwidth of 63.70. In contrast, an antenna array of 8 elements has a directivity of 15.5 dBi, a sidelobe level of -12.6 dB, and a beamwidth of 80. Using the same substrate size, by configuring the Vivaldi Coplanar antenna to be an array at a frequency of 3 GHz, the 1×8 array antenna has a 6.73dBi improvement in directivity, a 10.4 dB boost in side lobe level, and a 55.70 enhanced in beamwidth performance compared to a single element. According to the simulation findings, the radiation pattern performance of the. Palm Tree CVA is greater than a single element in the same substrate size. Good directivity, SLL, and beamwidth performance make the proposed Palm Tree CVA array suitable for integration in telecommunication, radar, or cognitive radio applications.
