… • Designing hardware is a complex
phenomenon. Especially when we talk about antennas.
• We cant just make any hardware with
out studying its behavior or characteristics.
• HFSS® from Ansoft corp. provides thatplatform, where we can design the
prototype,and then study its behavior and observe its characteristics andthen keeping them in mind fabricateour hardware.

• The acronym stands for “High
Frequency Structural Simulator”.
• It is one of the most popular andpowerful applications used for
antenna design, and the design ofcomplex RF electronic circuits in theindustry.
• Major users of this software for rndpurposes are Ericsson ,Nokia etc.

As we know the lengthof a half-wave dipoleantenna should behalf the wavelength ofthe operating carrier wave frequency. Thus
the dipole modeled inHFSS® has thefollowingspecifications

• A Microstrip Patch Antenna consists of ametallic strip or a patch mounted on a
dielectric layer (substrate) supported byground plane.

• The micro strip patch is designed so itspattern maximum is normal to the patch
hence making it a broadside radiator.
• The conducting micro strip or patch and theground plane are separated by a substrate.
• There are numerous substrates that can beused for the design of micro strip antennasand their dielectric constants are usually in
the range of (2.2 to 12).

•After the modeling of the probe feed patch antenna andachieving satisfactory results we came to our fabricationpart.
•For this purpose we etched two antennas. To learn howpatch antennas are built we constructed one antennaourselves
•In order to get more accurate results we got one antennaetched from Allied electronics Lahore.

The figure shows the return loss graph of the patchantenna we fabricated. The results came out to be
outstanding. Well beyond our expectations. The return lossgraph showed that the return loss at 1.82 GHz is -30.261 dB

As we progressed with the passage of time we had to facechallenges in different ways. If they wouldn‟t have been solved
timely we could not have achieved our goal. A brief review ofdifficulties during the whole project are summarized below.
• Unavailability of HFSS® • Very few people having knowledge of soft ware, so findingan instructor of this field was difficult and time consuming.
• Lack of antenna testing equipment in any of theeducational institutes.
• People who had knowledge of network analyzer atcomsats were busy with there own university commitments so
taking some time from them also became an isssue.
•This problem was solved after requesting to Dr.Shahid A.KhanDean comsats who requested the concerned person to helpus.
