This thesis describes the design and analysis of multiple Rectangular Patch Antenna Arrays operating at 2.4 GHz. Several Arrays namely single, 2x2, 4x2, and 4x4 all of rectangular shapes are designed and evaluated using the High Frequency Simulation Software Tool (HFSS). The antenna parameters gain, directivity, and return Loss are all examined for conclusion making. The maximum directivity reached is 17.058 dB of four by four (4x4) arrangement of 16 patches comparable to 7.99dBi for single patch for the aim to work at the WI-FI center frequency of 2.4 GHz. Another contribution of the thesis is the 4x2 antenna array which is beam steered into different directions by using varactors of varying capacitance. All the antenna arrays are fabricated at low cost to measure the parametric performance of the different array characteristics and comparison with the simulated ones was obtained. |
