The working frequency of this system is 4.2 to 4.4GHz and also requires less weight, low profile, and high gain antennas. The above mentioned application is possible with microstrip antenna as also known as planar antenna. In this paper, the microstrip antennas are designed at 4.3GHz (C-band) in rectangular and circular shape of single element. The performance of this antenna is analyzed in terms of radiation pattern, half power points, and gain and impedance bandwidth in MATLAB. This work extended here with patch is designed in Hexagon with and without air-gap between ground and substrate. Further these parameters are simulated in ANSOFT-HFSS TM V9.0 simulator. I. INTRODUCTION A radio altimeter is a device, which is used to measure a low altitude or distance from an aircraft or spacecraft to ground surface or to a sea level. This distance is calculated under the craft in vertical direction. Radio altimeter is a part of radar. The working principle of radar is, it transmits radio waves towards ground level or sea level and receives an echo signal after time duration. This value of time is depending on speed of the vehicle and height between craft (air or space) and ground. Here an antenna places a pivotal role to transmit the radio waves and receiving of waves either at the same frequency or at a band of frequencies. Here two antennas are used, one for transmitting radio waves and other for receiving an echo signal reflected by ground or surface of terrains. The receiving time or Time-Delay(T d ) is calculated from eq.1.the ratio of two times of altitude between aircraft and reflected region to light velocity in space is called time-delay. Generally, frequency modulated continuous wave is preferred than simple continuous wave technique [1]. Radio altimeter is working in the band of 4.2GHz to 4.4GHz [2] and receiving frequency is differed from transmitted signal at a rate of 40Hz per foot. The altimeters are also used in both civil and military aircrafts[1-8]. In civil applications these are used at low visibility conditions and automatic landing systems. Civil applications altimeters give the readings up to 2,500 feet and weather altimeters give up to 60,000feet above the ground level (AGL). Military applicator altimeter is used to fly quite low over the land and the sea to avoid radar detection and targeting by anti-aircraft guns or surface to air missiles. ---(1) The opt antenna for radio altimeter is a microstrip antenna and also called as patch antenna [9-10]. They are also used in the millimeter-wave frequency range. Microstrip patch antenna consists of a patch of metal which is acted as radiating element is on top of the grounded dielectric substrate of thickness h, with relative permittivity and permeability r and r (=1) respectively as shown in Fig.1 and Fig.2. The metallic patch may be of various shapes with rectangular, circular, and triangular, hexagon etc. Fig: 1 Rectangular Patch Microstrip Antenna Fig:2 Circular Patch Microstrip Antenna The performance of an antenna is depending on the shape of the radiator.the performance of an antenna generally measured in terms of radiation pattern, gain, directivity, return loss S 11 in db, frequency bandwidth from returnloss of below 10dB, and impedance band width in percentage.

2 Prasad et.al [11] has done work on rectangular and circular shape patches. They were designed antennas and analysed in MATLAB and observed that the performance of circular patch is better than rectangular patch. Krishna Kumar et.al [12] has done work on Octagonal microstrip antenna for Radar and Space-Craft Applications. He had designed antenna in HFSS and observed results. Mr. M.Ben Ahmed et al., [13] designed a patch antenna for multi applications like GSM/PCS/UMTS/HIPERLAN for Mobile Cellular Phones in HFSS software. Later he tested practically and observed that both results are similar. A.A. Eldek et.al[14] has done work on lotus shape radiating element. Sunil Kumar et.al[15] has done work on pentagon shaped radiator for wireless communications with making a slot to the patch. Slot on patch offers high gain and improvement in impedance bandwidth. For further improvement in impedance bandwidth, Sangam Kumar Singh et al. [16] has done work on an antenna with inserted air-gap between ground and substrate for breast cancer detection. Before designing, the practical antenna can simulate using softwares like ANASOFT-HFSS TM V9.0 [17] and MATLAB. By simulation antenna characteristics can be analyzed and synthesized. II. DESIGN PROCEDURE In this paper an antenna at 4.3GHz (C band) rectangular shape patch (Fig.3) having linear polarization is designed. Further, work was extended to different shapes of patches like Pentagon, Hexagon with and without air-gap between ground and substrate[18]. Here, each arm size of pentagon and hexagon was selected as radius of circular patch. Directivity and half power beamwidths of a rectangular patch antenna was analyzed in MATLAB. Later all these structures are designed in Ansoft HFSS simulator [16] which is working in finite discrete time domain(fdtd) and analyzed in terms of percentage impedance bandwidth and gain in db on both E- Plane and H-plane. The dimensions of rectangular patch and circular patch [9&10] was derived from the following eqs 2 and 3. For Rectangular Patch Antenna: Width of the patch W= [C/2*f r ]*sqrt{2/( r +1)} --- (2) Where C is velocity of light in free space f r is a resonant frequency or operating frequency Length of the patch L is generally o/3 <L < o/2 Circular Patch Antenna: where --- (3) --- (4) The percentage bandwidth [11] is calculated by using eq5 and from return loss (S 11 ) below 10dB of antenna. --- (5) Where f h and f l are upper and lower frequency values from return loss. The antenna structure shown in Fig.1 and 2 is designed with RT-Duroid material as substrate and assumed and calculated values are given in Table-1. Table: 1 Dimensions of Rectangular And Circular Patch III. RESULTS With the values obtained in section2, an antenna was designed and simulated in MATLAB. The simulated values of single element are tabulated in Table-2 and pattern on E-Plane and H-Plane is shown in Fig.3. It is observed that The rectangular patch antenna at 4.3GHz with coaxial feed is designed and simulated in ANSOFT-HFSS is shown in Fig.4. The directivity is 7.3 db and it is closest to the value in table 2. Table: 1 Comparison between Circular Single Patch Antenna Shape of the patch Rectangular Shape Circular Shape Relative Permittivity Height Rectangular patch Circular patch E-plane (HPBW) (deg) H-Plane (HPBW) (deg) E-Plane Directi vity(db) r = 2.2 h=0.1588cm Width(w)=2.7578cm, Length(L)= cm Radius a = cm Rectangular And H-Plane Directi vity(db)
3 Fig:4 Rectangular Microstrip Antenna in Ansoft HFSS Feed tuning in rectangular patch and array is difficult than other structures like circular, 6 edges ( hexagon) and more. Referring to the Fig.5 the arm size of a pentagon is 1.377cm which is designed in ansoft HFSS. From Fig.6 the return loss that replicates is indicated with S 11. It is tuned at the resonating frequencies FR1=4.36GHz and FR2= 9.09GHz respectively and also called dual tuned antenna. It is suitable for both radio altimeter application and space craft applications. Fig.7 implies that FR1 offers 100MHz bandwidth from 4.21GHz to 4.31GHz below -10dB as represented in the S 11 graph. Fig:5 Pentagon Microstrip Antenna in Ansoft HFSS with radius 1.377cm It produces a gain of 7.44dB with main beam along 0 deg direction as shown in Fig.8. Fig.9 resembles FR2 that offers maximum gain of 6.57dB and main beam is tilted with 52deg towards end- fire. Fig.10 resembles the current distribution of the pentagon patch which is referred in Fig.6. Fig:6 return loss S 11 (db) of Pentagon Microstrip Antenna in Ansoft HFSS (1GHz- 10GHz) Fig. 11 shows the 2D and 3D representation at FR1. The above criterion are repeated for Hexagon shape (with same arm size) and return loss shown in fig 12. It shows that tuned at 4.24GHz with range 4.19GHz to 4.30GHz at 10 db below. The impedance bandwidth is 2.59%. Fig.13 shows radiation pattern at 4.24GHz with HPBW 60deg and 84 deg on plane =0deg and 90deg respectively. Fig.14 represents VSWR pattern of an antenna and shows the value at resonance is Fig:7 Return Loss S 11 (db) of Pentagon Microstrip Antenna (4GHz-5GHz) The impedance bandwidth can improve by one of the technique that inserting air-gap between ground and patch shown in fig.15. From Ansoft analysis, fig.15 offers resonant at 4.68GHz with 4.59GHz to 4.78GHz range. By increasing radius of patch upto 1.487cm, the resonance was shifted to 4.26GHz with range 4.19GHz to 4.33GHz and impedance bandwidth of 3.286%.

CONCLUSION The design of rectangular and circular patch antenna operates at linear polarization has been done using MATLAB, ANSOFT-HFSS software. Calculations show that area of a circular patch is less than area of a rectangular patch. The antennas were simulated in MATLAB and results are tabulated in table2. Pentagon and Hexagon acts as a perfect choice in the design of radio altimeter. This design offers dual resonant frequency band which is exactly not available with the rectangular structure. With this innovative step there is an increase in the probability of utilization of the other structures of radio altimeter. The impedance bandwidth percentage is improved by introducing air-gap 2mm between ground and substrate. This work can be extended for different shapes and 47
5 arrays for circular polarization at different frequencies for different applications. REFERENCES 1. Leo G.
