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 waveguide (CPW) structure without a backside ground plane, where CPW grounds are present on the same metal layer, using the pcbComponent object with feeds defined by the FeedDefinition object. The example models the device specified in [1].
Model Coaxial Gap Feed for Probe-Fed Patch Antenna
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 Figure 3 of [1] using a patch antenna described in [2]. This example uses pcbComponent and pcbStack objects to create the patch antenna.
