Hi,
Yes, they will be horizontal, and I am expecting the car roof to play a big part in the radiation pattern.I will hook up a network analyzer and see whats the antennas are doing when connected in/out of phase.
Hi,
Ok..will try this and see what results I get.I also am looking into placing two patch antennas vertically mounted & back to back with a gnd plane inbetween and then feeding both at the same time.
Any ideas on the phasing possibilities ???
Thanks for your input.
Hi,
I have simulated a simple patch structure with other software (mmana)and there does seems to be a reasonable horizontal pattern.I am into amateur radio as a hobby and use the works cst software during my lunch hour, to model antenna for home use.
Hi,
The signal polarization needs to be mainly horizontal, aalthough I accept that the vertical influence will be there too because of the proximity to the car roof/groundplane.
may I add a comment that increasing the wifi signal level is illegal in most countries,as this interferes with other users in this band, and would reccomend a change in antenna instead.
I am looking at modelling a patch antenna for 2.3ghz with both vertical and horizontal radiation patterns.Horizontal being the dominant radiation pattern. The substrate would be ptfe, but I find that the distance between the groundplane and the antenna affects the radiation pattern somewhat.Any...
Hallo,
I have created a cylinder in cst with a dia of 17" and am trying to cut out a segment of 1", sothat it is not a closed loop. Can some please advise how to do it....
thanks
