Abstract
A 1x4 and 1x8 circular micro strip patch antenna array operating at 2.4GHz are simulated for Industrial Wireless Sensor Network (IWSN) applications using CST studio suite and MATLAB based simulator software. The circular patch antenna designed on a FR4 substrate with dielectric constant of 4.4 and a substrate height of 1.6mm is fed using inset-fed technique. Several antenna characteristics such as return loss, radiation pattern, bandwidth, directivity, antenna gain, radiation efficiency isanalyzed. The compact size and higher directivity help to improve the network performance by alleviating contention, increasing communication range, and mitigating interference of the system. Hence, the advantages gained, make the system more useful for IWSN applications as achieved in this research
利用CST studio suite和基于MATLAB的模拟器软件,对工作频率为2.4GHz的1x4和1x8圆形微带贴片天线阵列进行了工业无线传感器网络(IWSN)应用仿真。在介电常数为4.4、衬底高度为1.6mm的FR4衬底上设计了圆形贴片天线,采用插入馈电技术。分析了天线的回波损耗、辐射方向图、带宽、指向性、天线增益、辐射效率等特性。紧凑的尺寸和更高的指向性有助于通过减少争用、增加通信范围和减少系统干扰来提高网络性能。因此,所获得的优势,使该系统在本研究中实现的IWSN应用中更加有用
