The IEEE 802 LAN/MAN Standards Committee develops Local Area Network standards and Metropolitan Area Network standards.
The most widely used standards are for the Ethernet family, Token Ring, Wireless LAN, Wireless PAN, Wireless MAN, Bridging and Virtual Bridged LANs. An individual Working Group provides the focus for each area.
The number 802 was simply the next free number IEEE could assign, though “802” is sometimes associated with the date the first meeting was held in February 1980.

wireless communication means to transfer information overlong or short distance without using any wires
An antenna is defined a usually metallic device (as a rodor wire) for radiating or receiving radio waves.
the antenna is the transitional structure between free-space and a guiding device
it is used to transport electromagnetic energy from thetransmitting source to the antenna or from the antenna tothe receiver, the antenna can be in a form of microstrip.

Microstrip: is a type of electrical transmission line which can befabricated using printed circuit board used to convey microwavefrequency signals.
Microstrip Patch Antennas (MPA): These antenna comprises ofplanar layers including a radiating element, an intermediate dielectriclaye r, and a ground plane layer.

![Page 9: Microstrip patch antenna for wimax applications](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042501/55a960621a28ab53308b4793/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Surface waves are guided waves captured within the substrate and partially radiated and reflected back at the substrate edges.
The ground plane of a printed antenna is always is finite in size, surface waves propagates until they reach an edge or corner.
The diffracted waves take up apart of energy of the signal thus decreasing the desired signal amplitude and contributing to deterioration in the antenna efficiency as well as increasing both side lobe and cross polarization
Surface Waves
![Page 10: Microstrip patch antenna for wimax applications](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042501/55a960621a28ab53308b4793/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
The material of Printed Circuit Board (PCB) used in mydesign is FR4 utilize as substrate.
where "FR" means Flame Retardant, and Type "4" indicateswoven glass reinforced epoxy resin.
Dielectric constant typically in the range (4.3-5.2),depends on glass resin ratio.
popular material and cost effective compared with otherPCB material that make this PCB is preferred.
FR4 Substrate Material
![Page 11: Microstrip patch antenna for wimax applications](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042501/55a960621a28ab53308b4793/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
The main drawback of microstrip patch antenna is suffer from narrow BandWidth. Antenna BandWidth (BW) can be improved by increasing the substrate thickness. The thickness of substrate increases surface waves, surface waves pass through the substrate and scattered at bends of the radiating patch which caused degrade the antenna performance.
To overcome this problem, the technique of air-gap that represents substrate layer which has the dielectric constant is 1, by using air substrate, the surface waves is not excited easily.

To increase the efficiency of the microstrip patch antennaby decreasing the loss of the reflection, it is executed byusing air-gap as a substrate in microstrip patch antenna.
To reduce the cost in the fabrication of the antenna byusing the cheap and popular FR4 material. The resonantfrequency can adjusted without requiring new design by justvarying the height of the air-gap also as well as the FR4material this made the fabrications very cost effective.

To improve the BandWidth (BW) by increasing the thickness of dielectric substrate and dielectric constant with lower value.
To reduce the energy loss due to surface wave, the surface waves consume apart of energy of the signal thus decreasing the desired signal amplitude and contributing to deterioration in the antenna efficiency that weaken the microstrip antenna’s performance.

Use the resonant frequency 3.5 GHz for WiMax application, theresonant frequency is chosen from IEEE 802.16-2004 span of 2-11GHz.
Choose the air as dielectric substrates that have the value of dielectricconstant 1 in order to reduce the surface wave excisions.
Use the transmission Line model for calculation of patch Dimension. It’s the simplest of all and gives good physical insight.
Simulate and Verify antenna design performance by applying Computer Simulation Technology Software (CST) to design MPA.
Use AutoCAD software to open the DXF file that exported from CST software simulation.

Microstrip Line Feed : A conducting strip directly connected to the patch which is smaller in dimension as compare to patch. It is very easy to fabricate, very simple in modeling and match with characteristic impedance 50Ω or 75Ω. This type of feeding was not successful when using with air-gap substrate.
Coaxial Feed: Feed the inner conductor of coaxial extends through the dielectric and is soldered to the radiating patch, while the outer conductor is connected to ground plane, it is easy to fabricate and match. It has low spurious radiation, and it has narrow bandwidth.

Aperture Coupled Feed: is more complex and more difficult to fabricateas compare to others, High dielectric material is used for bottom substrate andthick and low dielectric constant material for the top substrate .
Proximity coupled Feed: Its fabrication is not easy as compare to otherfeed techniques, the advantage is eliminates spurious radiation and provides highbandwidth (as high as 13%), due to overall increase in the thickness of themicrostrip patch antenna.

Resonant frequency: The Resonant frequency was used in MPA for IEEE802.16-2004 is 3.5 GHz, and take the span (3 - 4) GHz used in reflection loss and BW calculations.
Dielectric Substrate: FR4 PCB material is used as a substrate. Reflection loss and BW are calculated when using singleFR4 PCB. Subsequently, air is used as the substrate between two PCB FR4 substrates that improves the BW as well as reduce the loss of the reflection. These are compared with the data when using singleFR4 PCB.
Thickness of Substrate: The thickness of Air substrate was designed and fabricated by using 2mm spacer, the thickness of the FR4 substrate is 1.6mm.
Many factors were determined before begin the design

FR4 Substrate Material: The joining between the Fr4 substrate layers with spacing is doing by
SUPA GLUE implement at 10 seconds.

Technique design with air-gap, use two FR4 PCB substrate each layer have thickness is 1.6mm, the first board is consist of FR4 substrate have radiating patch but it strip from ground plane, the second board is consist of radiating patch and ground plane separated by FR4 substrate, the separation between two layers is air-gap.

The VNA device is divided into two parts, the first isscreen and the second is control button. The screenis used for display the graph, this graph representthe S11and BW that will be measured and analysed.The control button consists of seven sectionsarranged from top to bottom and from left to right is(TRACE, NAVIGATION, CHANNEL, SUPPORT,DISPLAY, DATA ENTRY, SYSTEM). The start ofthe frequency range and the stop span on VNAdevice, its accomplished by selecting CHANNELsection from control button. Then, checking theresonant frequency and it was 3.5 GHz, and thespan 1 GHz.
