Abstract

A design, model and simulation of a 2x1 array microstrip rectangular patch antenna with Low Temperature Co-fired Ceramic substrate is presented in this paper. The specifications for the proposed antenna is it has a frequency of 10 GHz, Ferro A6S LTCC substrate, an epsilon 5.9, a substrate thickness of 0.096 mm and copper thickness of 0.01 mm. Parametric study was done with different conducting material, height of antenna by multilayer substrate and distance between radiating patch. The simulation was done using Computer Simulation Technology (CST) Microwave Studio. Results of the design were analyzed in terms of gain, directivity, return loss and Voltage Standing Wave Ratio. By comparing the FerroA6S and FR4 substrate design in calculation to prove the design of LTCC using Ferro A6S will reduce the size of antenna.
