Abstract

In this comparative study, Two antenna designing tools where compared each other to get appropriate output for the calculated design parameters. Here, there are four different rectangular microstrip patch antennas (RMPA) has been designed for four different frequencies like 2.4 GHz, 3.5 GHz, 5.2 GHz and 5.8 GHz separately using two different antenna design tools like Advanced design software (ADS) and High Frequency simulator software (HFSS). Flame Retardant (FR4) is used as the dielectric material with microstrip feed to the rectangular patch. The comparison is based on the variations obtained in the design parameters like length, width and height and their respective simulation parameters. Hence, by comparing the design parameters and simulation parameters obtained for the operating frequencies with both the tool, it has been concluded that which tools can work efficiently with accuracy. Thus, this paper provides t a clear opinion about which tool is suitable for getting appropriate simulation results for the corresponding calculated design values.
