“…This proposed antenna consists of total five patches out of which the center patch is treated as the common radiator, and the remaining four patches behave as the primary radiators. Before designing this antenna, a Dual Patch Dual Feed Microstrip Slotted Antenna was proposed [18]. That paper shows how end-fire radiation can be achieved using microstrip radiators for TCAS application.…”

“…In this case, the shorting pins and slot can be treated as the tuning parameters. Figure 6(a) shows a triangle-shaped metallic cap made of thin copper foil, which was proposed in the case of dual-patch dual-feed microstrip slotted antenna, and how it played a major role for obtaining the end-fire radiation and to reduce the back lobe was shown [18]. The height of that metallic cap was 65 mm in that design.…”

Abstract-Traffic alert and Collision Avoidance System (TCAS) is an airborne system which is designed to provide the service as a last defense equipment for avoiding mid-air collisions between the aircraft. In such airborne systems, where low aerodynamic drag is urgently required, the end-fire antenna is suitable to be used. An effort to develop such an antenna, using microstrip elements, is described in this paper. Here, a Multi-Feed Microstrip Antenna is presented which radiates in the end-fire direction. The proposed antenna is designed in such a way that it can radiate the whole 360 • surveillance region of the aircraft. To encapsulate the antenna inside an enclosure, an aerodynamically shaped Radome is also designed and presented in this paper. For designing this antenna model and its Radome, CST Microwave Studio is used here as the EM tool. The performance and other antenna characteristics have been explored from the simulation results followed by the antenna fabrication and measurement. Quite good agreement is achieved between the simulated and measured results. Much better performance characteristics make this proposed antenna a good candidate for this application.

“…That is the reason behind many researchers are working to design their antennas considering the MPA technique and using different materials as well as different methods and designs to gain optimum parameters, which are required for their applications. New technologies such as using screen printing of conductive paint and using sticky copper film [5]- [7] as well as finding new designs that can affect the gain and the bandwidth of the MPA [8]. The complicated relationships between different parameters of MPA make the control on MPA parameters very sophisticated and it is very hard to get high gain and wideband at the same time [9].…”

In this paper, an end-fire microstrip patch antenna (MPA) is proposed of 3 GHz as a center frequency, designed, simulated, and measured to work on WiMAX frequencies within standard of 802.16e (WiMAX). A high gain ranged between (12.117-13.324) dB, high front to back ratio (F/B) of (35.770) at the center frequency, a wide band of 1.701 GHz, low profile, and semi-ideal voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) of 1.053 is achieved. The simulation is done using computer simulation technology (CST-MW). The proposed design is based on two Fire-retardant substrates (FR-4) of relative permittivity (ε) 4.3+j0.025 and 1.53 mm thickness for each one, which is considered a high loss material. The measurement results show good agreement with the simulated results. In addition, the design can be used for harvesting power supply from mobile towers. Finally, the proposed design is compared with two other designs in terms of power conversion efficiency and overall size.

To design a quad feed end-fire microstrip patch antenna for airborne systems. Basically these type of antennas are most helpful for avoiding mid-air collisions between aircraft. The microstrip patch antenna is very small in size and it is less in weight. Due to small size and less weight, it offers an easy design and fabrication process. The microstrip patch antenna has radiating patch on one side and ground on the other side. They operate at microwave frequencies. The low profile structure of microstrip antenna offers its wide use in wireless communication. They are used as communication antenna on missiles. Traffic alert and Collision Avoidance System (TCAS) is an airborne system which is utilized to provide the service as last defense equipment for avoiding mid-air collisions between the aircraft. 1.03 GHz and 1.09 GHz are the transmitting and receiving frequencies of the existing TCAS antenna respectively. In airborne systems, low aerodynamic drag is required. FR4 epoxy is chosen as the substrate material whose dielectric constant is 4.4. 1.06GHz is chosen as the design frequency, since it is centre frequency between 1.03GHz and 1.09GHz. Microstrip patch antenna always radiates in the broadside direction which is along elevation plane. Due to metallic cap, microstrip patch antenna can also radiate in the end fire radiation which is along the azimuth plane. The ground plane must have very large dimensions than the patch. This microstrip patch antenna working at UHF (Ultra High Frequency) band is designed and their parameters like gain, directivity, return loss, VSWR (Voltage Standing Wave Ratio) and radiation pattern have been analyzed and simulated using ANSYS HFSS (High Frequency Structure Stimulator).
