Patch AntennaWhat is patch antenna ? How the patch antenna works? What are the feeding Techniques for patch antenna? What are the advantage and disadvantage of patch antenna?
What is Patch Antenna ?A patch antenna consists of a radiating patch (metal)on one side of a dielectric substrate and a ground plane on the other side

L
=
The length of the patch
W
=
The width of the patch
h
=
The height of the dielectric substrate
( r) = The dielectric constant of the substrate
How a patch antenna work patch antenna excited in its When thefundamental TM10 mode Electromagnetic energy in and/or out of the patch. By which fringing field is produce along the two edges of the patch These fringing fields cause the patch antenna to radiate

Shape of patch antennathe patch is generally square, rectangular, circular, triangular, elliptical or some other common shape as shown below
Feed TechniquesThese methods can be classified into two categories
Contacting non-contacting In Contacting RF power is fed directly to the radiating patch In non-contacting RF power is not directly fed to the radiating patch
Feed TechniquesThe four most popular feed techniques are Microstrip feed line Coaxial feed Aperture coupling Proximity coupling non contacting contacting
Advantages and disadvantages AdvantagesLight weight low volume Low fabrication cost Good efficiency Disadvantages Narrow bandwidth Non omnidirectional patterns
