Diseño multifísica y fabricación de una Patch Antena Microstrip usando tecnologías de tinta continua conductora de impresión

Abstract

In this academic article, a Patch Microstrip antenna was designed and manufactured working in the 5GHz band using conductive continuous ink printing technologies and other types of printing on PET material were also used. A homemade ink was manufactured and a commercial ink of the Novacentrix brand was also acquired, with the objective of studying and analyzing the behavior of these two types of ink in our final antenna. The simulation was carried out using the Comsol software and for the final experimentation a radio frequency generator was used with a 5GHz carrier connected to a directive antenna, which will be the transmitter of the signal, together with this an analyzer was also used. of spectrum that will be connected to the Microstrip Patch Antenna to be able to capture and analyze the sinusoidal waves created by the generator. Having all these connections established, we were able to observe that the Patch Antenna worked stably at a power > -80 dBm and at a frequency of 5GHz with a small shift to the right, this is usually due to the behavior of the oscillator or to a change in frequency in the carrier.
