INTRODUCTION
A single-fed coupled circularly polarized patch antenna is designed & experimentally demonstrated.
Proposed antenna has good circular polarization property & biocompatibility issue is addressed in proposed design.
Main goal to design compact antenna for medical application
Patch antenna used because they are versatile in terms of impedance, polarization & pattern.

GENERAL STRUCTURE OF PATCH ANTENNA
Consists of radiating patch, dielectric substrate, feed & ground plane Radiating patch is metallic sheet may be of many geometric shape Ground plane is metal where radiating patch is mounted. Dielectric substrate is low loss insulating material where antenna
shapes are printed

FEEDING METHODS
Two types of feeding methods in patch antenna- Contacting methods: RF power fed directly to radiating patch using connecting element. 1. Micro-strip line feed 2. Coaxial probe feed
Non-contacting methods: Power transferred between micro-strip line & radiating patch through electromagnetic coupling.
1. Aperture coupling feed 2. Proximity coupling feed
6
MICROSTRIP LINE FEED
Conducting strip connected directly to the edge of patch Smaller in width as compared to patch
Advantage: Can be etched on same substrate Easy feeding scheme & simplicity un modeling
Disadvantage: As thickness of dielectric substrate increases, it
hampers the bandwidth of antenna
Fig.2: Micro-strip line feed

COAXIAL PROBE FEED
Inner conductor of coaxial connector extends through dielectric & soldered to radiating patch.
Outer conductor connected to ground plane.
Advantages: Can be placed any desired location inside patch Easy to fabricate & low spurious radiation
Disadvantages: Narrow bandwidth & difficult to model Input impedance become more inductive for thicker substrates

COUPLING & CIRCULAR POLARIZATION
When elements are placed collinearly along E-plane, called E-plane arrangement .
When elements are placed collinearly along H-plane ,called H-plane arrangement
Coupling: coupling between two patch is a function of position of one element
relative to the other. successful attempts have been made using transmission-line model &
cavity model but difficult to do.

CONTINUE………Circular polarization: Electric field varies in two orthogonal planes with same magnitude & 90 degree phase difference.
When phases are 0 & -90 degree ,called Right hand circular polarization.
When phases are 0 & 90 degree ,called Left hand circular polarization.
Single feed arrangement can be obtained- introducing slight perturbation by truncating patch corners, adding tails and cutting cross slots , adopting aperture-coupled feeding configurations cutting gap to a loop antenna Fig. 5: Single feed CP

ANTENNA DESCRIPTIONIn the proposed antenna- design concept is something like sandwich. have a top FR-4 substrate then Ground plane at the middle and
then Teflon at the bottom. Teflon isolates ground plane from human body, to avoid direct
electrical contact.. Four small patches connected to small square loop with coupling. Antenna is fed at quadrant IV. Single Feed circular polarization is obtained from coaxial probe
feed.
Feeding arrangement: Outer cover is metal called Cover pin & used for ground. At middle is called Teflon pin & used for isolating ground and
main feed At centre is Metal pin and used for main signal.

SIMULATION & PARAMETER CALCULATION
S-parameter: represents how much power is reflected from the antenna.
If S11=0 dB, all the power is reflected from antenna and nothing is radiated. If S11=-10 dB, implies that if 3 dB of power is delivered to antenna, -7 dB is
reflected power For ideal antenna ,S11 is less than -10 dB.
Fig.7: S-parameter curve
13
CONTINUE………….
Voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR): Describes how well antenna is impedance matched to transmission line. Minimum value of VSWR is 1, hence no power is reflected from
the antenna. In proposed antenna, value of VSWR is 1.57
Fig.8: VSWR of proposed antenna
14
CONTINUE………Reflection coefficient:. Describes amount of power reflected from antenna Reflection coefficient,(┌) = Reflected power in dB = 20 log (┌)
Mismatch loss: Amount of power is lost due to impedance mismatch Mismatch loss in dB = 10log(1- )
Antenna efficiency: Relates power delivered to antenna & radiated or
dissipated within antenna. If most power is radiated ,antenna is high efficient If most power is absorbed as losses, antenna is low
efficient. Total efficiency Radiation efficiency.
15
CONTINUE……
Antenna Gain: Describes how much power is transmitted in direction of
peak radiation of isotropic source. When no direction specified, ‘gain’ is understood to the
peak value radiation. Gain of proposed antenna is -0.397 dB.

CONTINUE………
Directivity: Measures power density of antenna radiates in direction
of its strongest emission, versus power density radiated by ideal isotropic radiator.
Directivity of proposed antenna is 7.67 dBi.

CONTINUE…….
Axial ratio: It is the ratio of orthogonal components of an E-field. From this figure, axial ratio is 2.67 dB Axial ratio 3dB means circular polarization
Fig.11:Axial ratio plot

RESULTS Resonant frequency= (5 - 5.1 )GHz S11= -13.97dB VSWR= 1.57dB Reflection coefficient= 0.2 Reflected power = -13.97dB Mismatch loss= -0.1773 dB Gain= -0.397dB Directivity= 7.67dBi Radiation efficiency= -8 dB Total efficiency= -12.4 dB Axial ratio= 2.67 dB

CONCLUSION An single feed circular polarized patch antenna is
proposed with coupling for medical application.
The biocompatibility issue is addressed in antenna by using TEFLON as substrate below ground plane.
