A Comprehensive Comparison of Microstrip Patch, Microstrip Slot and Meander Line Antennas for V-Band Wireless Communication Systems

Abstract

This paper presents a comprehensive comparison of three popular antenna structures for 60 GHz wireless communication systems: microstrip patch, microstrip slot, and meander line antenna. The design process involves the selection of substrate material, antenna geometry, and feed mechanism to achieve a compact, efficient, and wideband antenna. The performance analysis is based ontheoretical analysis and simulation measurements of the radiation pattern, gain and bandwidth.Theoretical derivations and equations are provided to aid in understanding the antenna structures' design and performance.The results show that the proposed microstrip antenna design meets the requirements for 60 GHz wireless communication systems and has the potential for further optimization. The results show that each antenna structure has its unique advantages and disadvantages, and the selection of the antenna structure should depend on the specific application requirements.The comparison can help researchers and engineers choose the most suitable antenna structure for their specific application requirements. The antennas are simulated using HFSS simulator.
