RF PCB and Antennas Integration
Design PCB trace-on-board antennas and feeds using RF PCB Toolbox™ combined with elements from the Antenna Toolbox™ antenna catalog.
Featured Examples
Design S-Band Monopulse Tracking Radar Antenna
Implement a monopulse operation by integrating a 2-by-4 microstrip patch array and a rat-race coupler.
Corporate Feed Divider Network for a Linear Patch Antenna array
Integrate a corporate power divider with a microstrip patch antenna array. The corporate power divider is available as a catalog element in RF PCB Toolbox. The patch antenna array is built using the patchMicrostripInsetfed catalog element and pcbStack from Antenna Toolbox.
Dual-Fed Square Microstrip Patch Antenna for BLE Applications
Design and analyze the dual-fed square microstrip patch antenna for Bluetooth Low Energy applications.
Analyze Nolen Matrix for the 2-D Beamforming Application
The Nolen matrix is a novel antenna feeding network composed of only couplers with dedicated coupling ratios and phase shifters. In this example a 2D beamforming array using planar Nolen matrix [1] designed at 2 GHz, is imported and analyzed. The proposed 3 ×3 Nolen matrix is saved in the gerber file and analyzed at 2 GHz with FR4 substrate. All simulation results are matched with the design theory[1] and the measured result.
Modeling and Analysis of 5G NR FR1 Ultra-wideband Antenna
Construct and feed a coplanar structure with no ground plane using the pcbComponent object with feeds defined by FeedDefinition object. The model under consideration is the device specified in [1].
Model Coaxial Gap Feed for Probe-Fed Patch Antenna
Demonstrates the difference between a standard delta-gap probe feed model and a finite-gap coaxial feed model. It reproduces the input impedance results presented in Fig. 3 of [1] using a patch antenna described in [2]. This example uses pcbComponent and pcbStack objects to create the patch antenna.
