Dual Polarized 16X16 MSPA Antenna Using FR4 Epoxy

There are many applications in wireless communication that involve more than one distinct band of frequencies. The present model is a square patch array of 16x16 i.e. 256 elements arranged on the FR4 epoxy substrate material. Dual polarization is obtained at 8 and 13 GHz frequency with return loss of -11.75dB and -18.90dB. The gain obtained from the current model is 22dB. The present work involved the designing of array patch antenna and simulation of the model with Ansoft HFSS. All the output parameters, radiation patterns, axial ratio and directivity are presented in this paper.
