Feeding methods in Patch antenna Contacting Feed + Patch is direetly fed with RF power by using the contacting elements such as the Microstrip Line or Coaxial Line, + Eg: Microstrip Food and Coaxial Feed 2. Non-Contacting Feed. Cones Yolo ‘inte Ten — > ‘+ Microstrip patch is not directly fed with RF power. Te og + Power is transferred to the patch from the feed line through electromagnet + Eg: Aperture Coupled feed and Proximity coupled feed. Contacting Feed 1. Microstrip line + In this type of feed technique, a conducting strip is connected directly to the microstrip pate’s edge ‘+ The conducting strip is smaller in width than the patch + Inset cut in the patch helps to match the impedance of the feed Line to the patch without the need for any additional matching element + Advantage : Easy to fabricate, simple to match by controlling the inset position, the feed can be etched on the same substrate to provide a planar structure + Disadvantage: feed radiation increases, bandwidth decreases 2. Co-axial feed + anon-planar feeding technique in which 2 co-axial cable is used to feed the pateh. + The inner conductor of the co-axial connector extends through the dielectric, making a metal contact swith the patch + outer conductor of the cable is connected to the ground plane ‘The probe is in direct contact with the antenna, and itis located at the point where the antenna input is $0 ohms Advantage : Easy to fabricate, simple to match, low radiation Stee Pach Disadvantage: narrow bandwidth ‘Non-Contacting Feed 3. Aperture couple feed + Consists of two diclectrie substrates, namely antenna dielectric substrate, and feed dielectric substrate. + Dielectric substrates are separated by a ground plane, which has a aperture at its center. ‘+ metal pate is placed on top of the antenna substrate + feed dielectric and feed line are placed on the other side of the ground plane + Advantage: excellent polarization purity, narrow bandwidth + Disadvantage :requires multilayer fabrication 1 4. Proximity feed + fed line is placed between two dielectric substrates + In the edge fed technique, it is impossible to choose a $0 ohms feed point since the impedance at the edges will be very high + To overcome this, the feed line is moved toa lower level below the patch + The edge of the feed line is located ata poi ‘where the antenna input impedance is 50 ohms. ‘+ Here the power transfer from the feed to the patch takes place through electromagnetic field coupling. + Advantage: fed line radiation has been reduced, improved bandwidth + Disadvantage :multlayer fabrication, poor polarization purity
